[Verse]

Decided
To sneak up away from your stomach
And try your pulse
And captured
What seemed all unknowing and candid
             
But they suspe

              
cted it was fa

         
lse

She's playful
The boring would warn you be careful
Of her brigade
In order to tame this relentless marauder
             
Move away from

                  
 the parade

[Bridge 1]
              
And she was wa

             
lking on the t

              
ables in the g

                    
lass house
             
Endearingly be

             
draggled in th

                
e wind
             
Subtle in her 

             
method of sedu

            
ction
             
The twenty lit

              
tle tragedies 

               
begin

              
And she would 

             
throw a feathe

              
r boa in the r

                   
oad
             
If she thought

              
 that it would

                        
 set the scene
             
Unfittingly di

              
pped into your

                    
 companions
             
Enlighten them

              
 to make you s

[Chorus]
              
And there's af

            
fection to ren

[Bridge 2]
           
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh

      
hhhhh
             
And my fingers

              
 scratch at my

                
 hair
              
Before my mind

            
 can get too r

              
eckless
             
The idea of se

Is enough to m

grow cold
           
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh
