After “The Wolves in the Walls”
Oh Lucy don’t be scared
of the monsters living in your stairs.
Baby don’t you shy away
from the footsteps creeping,
night and day.
Oh the wolves their watching,
and their waiting,
watching through the eyes of paintings.
Baby don’t you shy away from the
monsters only want to play.
They only wanna play.
Then the wolves came out of the walls
they came a’breaking
and nobody believed her
but no, she wasn’t faking.
Oh the wolves came out of the walls
Oh yes she knew it
now everyone is running
and nobody sees through it but her.
Lucy never learned to fight.
Those monsters in her head they kept her up all night.
They howled and roared oh yes they did.
‘Till that little girl had had enough
she threw her little fists.
(Bonus Bridge)
And in a lamplight brawl,
she fought shadowy walls
she threw her punches at the covers
and defeated them all
she didn’t stop and stare
at the scraggly hair
and what sharp white teeth
those wolves did bear.
