Faithless – Tarantula

deep 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 dripping

deliciously unsuspecting

protecting you from all harm

except perhaps from these arms

that hold you
