Tarantula

These arms

That hold you

That hold you

That hold you...

Down in the shadows of your deepest secrets

I sleep next to the precepts you hold most dear

Your heart is in my province hour upon hour

I shiver when you feel the cold,

Everything you say I hear

Like a bomb and its fuse,

We bring bright light

But I could be a devil to you

I could bite like a tarantula

Right through the skin

And leave my poison In

Deliciously Unsuspecting

Protecting you from all harm

Except perhaps from these arms

That hold you

That hold you

That hold you

That hold you

That hold you....
