Big Bad Wolf

There's one tale that begins
Deep, deep in the forest

I came upon you so sudden
A girl in the midst of the woods
My eyes adjusted to color
I saw a red riding hood

Slowly creeping closer to you
But little did I see the hunter in you

Now, little nightmare, you have beautiful eyes
I can see all the stories where beasts go to die
I'm the bad wolf of fables and my hunger still roars
Come, let me feast upon all that is yours

La, la-di-di-da
La-di-di-da, di-da
La, la-di-di-da
Mm-mm

I wondered how I would catch you
Should I play with my prey
I failed to notice the glint of your knife
And the smirk on your face far crueler than mine

Now suddenly I see
Why they call you a monster and not me

Now, little nightmare, you have beautiful eyes
I can see all the stories where beasts go to die
I'm the bad wolf of fables and my hunger still roars
Come, let me feast upon all that is yours

La, la-di-di-da
La-di-di-da, di-da
La, la-di-di-da
La-di-di-da, di-da

I took my chance, and came up beside you
I flashed a grin, watched as your eyes grew
I tell you, "Come closer", you abide my words
I open my maw, and fall to the dirt

You've come to take my skin
To wrap my teeth 'round your throat
You've come to make some coin
To fashion yourself a new coat
And I should have seen it all come close
But the forest hides the truth
And only it will know

Now, little nightmare, you have beautiful eyes
I can see all the stories where I'll go to die
I'm the bad wolf of fables, yet your hunger roars more
Come feast upon all that is yours

La, la-di-di-da
La-di-di-da, di-da
La, la-di-di-da
Oh, la-di-di-da, di-di-da
