WolfAlice

 Wolf Alice, Wolf Alice

What's it all about?

Got a bullet in your shirt

It's gonna make you shout

Crying out loud with the

Pain of the world

Well you cry like a wolf

But you're just a little girl


Shoot me from your wigwam

Shoot at me through the trees

There's plenty of lice on Alice's knees

Got a gun, got a sun

And whole row of fleas

All jumping around

your sandcastles by the seas


Wolf Alice I love ya

You're gonna make me bleed

All the way to Alabama with

Your mouth full of greed

return your red coat to the fire

Wolf Alice you were trapped

By one man's desire



I should have held your hand 

as you walked through the wood

But I was just a wolf not a Robin Hood

I should have delivered you safe 

to your grandma's house

But instead I ate her up

Now I feel such a louse


My mother always told me

Not to carry a loaded gun

But now when I look at her

I think that I'm not her son


I'm a failure as a man

And I never made it as a wolf

I hope you understand

Or is it that you needed proof?


I should eat my ham

And shoot my bears

But I'm in a wigwam

Full of my own cares


Well they're looking to me

To fill in the black gap

But I'm lost in the wood

And I don't have a map


I should've been born a wolf

But I was only born a man

Now there's a big gulf

Between what I want and 

what I am


Burn me with your fire

Hurt me with your stakes

It was all my own desire

That made my mistakes


I've got ruby red shoes

I stole from a witch

And poisonous potion

That's making me itch


I start to grow hairs

On the end of my nose

And I keep climbing the stairs

And taking off my clothes


Shoot me once inside the temple

I've come here to prey

Because I don't like the hemp oil

Now I've fallen in love 

With a fallen Angel

She flies like a dove

Just as the bells toll
