Tracing very carefully A life size portrait of his silhouette Coloring with crayons from you childhood A 64 box set But your hands will not stop trembling Your brow breaks out in little beads of sweat And your yearning for the memory While drinking you're still drinking to forget Well downstairs you know they're out there You won't come down you don't wanna talk And all that you desire your obsession With tarantula hawk Time to drain the chalice It's your poison you want to drink alone Mirroring the malice in your eyes As it sinks into your bones Yeah they're outside they're not kidding You won't come out and you don't wanna talk And all you see and all you need and all you want is tarantula hawk Tarantula hawk Tarantula hawk Rub the magic lantern But the genie's on extended holiday Still tarantula is there to hold your heart As you start fading into gray They're downstairs they're persistent They intend to violate your solitude You and tarantula are kneeling and rejoicing You're praying to St. Jude But there's no way they can catch you Cause you're dying still your love is like a rock All you see and all you need And all you are is tarantula hawk Tarantula hawk Tarantula hawk Tarantula hawk
