Little Me and the Big Bad Shadows
The sun was going down
I was romantically alone
Not to imagine any trouble
A bit too far from home
This is like the tale of Little Red
The girl with a thick head
Just like that big bad wolf
I invited my demons in
To have a tragic and fatal end
Mother warned me not to do bad things
She told me never to go back again
But I thought she was just pulling a string
So I took that short path into the woods
With a smile and my soul for goods
Something simple to go so wrong
Shadows dancing across the sand
Voices in the distance
This was my granny calling me
A whisper in my ear
To make me jump to the other
It seemed as though it was quite fake
Just like the wolf's impression
I never learn a lesson
To watch something that's not there
Beat me to anywhere
Gave me quite a scare
And my mind started to wonder
What long legs you have
What a soft voice you have
What strange thing you are
Am I the only one seeing this?
That night the last thing I heard was a little girl
But that same voice wound up in my house
"come and play"
"Play with me"
A great imitation I do say
Thought it was the real deal
My angel had to come and save me that day
I was romantically alone
Not to imagine any trouble
A bit too far from home
This is like the tale of Little Red
The girl with a thick head
Just like that big bad wolf
I invited my demons in
To have a tragic and fatal end
Mother warned me not to do bad things
She told me never to go back again
But I thought she was just pulling a string
So I took that short path into the woods
With a smile and my soul for goods
Something simple to go so wrong
Shadows dancing across the sand
Voices in the distance
This was my granny calling me
A whisper in my ear
To make me jump to the other
It seemed as though it was quite fake
Just like the wolf's impression
I never learn a lesson
To watch something that's not there
Beat me to anywhere
Gave me quite a scare
And my mind started to wonder
What long legs you have
What a soft voice you have
What strange thing you are
Am I the only one seeing this?
That night the last thing I heard was a little girl
But that same voice wound up in my house

"Play with me"
A great imitation I do say
Thought it was the real deal
