"Falling In Love With The Wolfboy" lyrics

"Falling In Love With The Wolfboy"

She can make you feel like filth
She can make you feel like a star
She will scratch 'til her hand is bloody
But she'll love you more for the scar

She remembers the recent past
She's something the cat dragged in
She's a trollop in paisley, so

Take her down to the woods
Where the wolfboy lives
So the villagers say
And the three of you evaporate into the night
'Til you both fall in love with him

With a face like an African mask
And the strength of ten men when she's wrong
She's in charge in the world at large
And her novels are all very long

She belongs on the astral plane
She's probably a hologram
Put her back in the padded cell

Take her down to the woods
Where the wolfboy lives
So the villagers say
And the three of you evaporate into the night
'Til you both fall in love with him

So you'll dress head to foot in lamé
And you'll dance in December snow
When the sky turns to wine you'll embrace
And forget everything that you know

She can tell you the will of the gods
Butter won't melt in her mouth, but you will
Don't bother to ask her name

Take her down to the woods
Where the wolfboy lives
So the villagers say
And the three of you evaporate into the night
'Til you both fall in love with him
