The Woods |
We went, the two of us into |
The woods behind the little school |
Two went in and one came home |
We didn’t go in there alone |
Your eyes were lovely as you danced |
With centipedes and little ants |
We built a fort of lover’s teeth |
And some of mother’s sheets |
I was a boy and I was good |
But there are witches in these woods |
They followed us into the trees |
Wearing crowns of twigs and leaves |
You and I were in the mud |
Paint ourselves with spider’s blood |
Your eyes are lovely, dark and dense |
(These little hands are parasites) |
Pulling legs off salamanders |
(Get in there and hang on tight) |
Little creature you unspun |
(Take what they can take and leave you bleeding) |
The skin and bones and brains and blood |
While witches they surrounded us |
I was a boy and I was good |
But there are witches in these woods |
The nights are lovely, dark and deep |
But I’ll appear when you’re asleep |
You’ll wake up with a sudden hurt |
Mouth and nose all full of dirt |
We went, the two of us into |
The woods behind the little school |
Yeah, I’m still buried in the mud |
Skin and bones and brains and blood |
