Ellis Ludwig-Leone - The Woods lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] I was a boy and I was good But there are witches in these woods [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] I was a boy and I was good But there are witches in these woods [Baritone Sax solo] [Verse 3] 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 in two The woods behind the little school Yeah, I'm still buried in the mud Skin and bones and brains and blood
