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
