I met a woman down in Mexico

Sweet as sugar with a heart made of stone

We drank tequila by the light of the moon

I didn't realize that she would be my ruin

She lit a candle and turned around

And when she did my feet never touched the ground

Smelled the room; smelled just like a honeybee

I looked around and my eyes grew wider then

Throughout the night I heard her call my name
Ab Bb
Me like a moth drawn to the flame

Me like a spell in the magic ways
Ab Bb
Made a minute stretch into days

I felt our bodies then our souls entwine

When I awoke she had slipped away

For that sweet young girl from Mexico I go

Town to town and the story they tell

About a girl breaking hearts with a magic spell

Using potions and magic chants

But I know it's just her tarantula dance
