Dan Bull - The Wolf Among Us lyrics

(Look, this is Fabletown) The place where fables are found Grimy roads replace the yellow bricks Paved on the ground (How many of them stay here?) I’m unable to count Because labelled as outcasts They stay underground (They keep themselves to themselves) Invisible among these mundies (They use a spell to repel) Every community needs a way to keep in order (Someone to police the place) A sort of senior lawman Formerly the Big Bad Wolf They call him Bigby (Went from eating kids to drinking neat whisky) When lying alone at night I don’t quite know why He’s got the hots for Snow White (I know, right?) All it took to hook him long ago Was a lone bite It was so wrong (Yet so right) In Fabletown they face a daily struggle To escape the place they came from And the range of ways That they can raise up trouble (Dark forces want to see this place Razed to rubble but Bigby’s a razor blade Erasing any trace of stubble) Perhaps one too many close shaves Check the mirror, see things a little clearer The answer’s getting nearer He needs to keep his fellow fables Out of harm’s way Be they in Bullfinch Street Or at the farm, hey Stop crying over spilt milk (Pick up the dairy pail) And dig up the truth That’s hidden underneath this fairy tale [Hook:] You better beware, for there’s a wolf among us But the truth is the food for which he hungers
