lyrics

What Big Teeth You Have

There is a child in my chest.

She is not quiet
or calm.
She is loud
and demanding.

She squeezes my heart
and I feel her fear
because we've both been scared
before.

Don't be scared, I say.
Don't be scared, I plead.
Don't be scared, I beg.

I say to her
Think of the fairytales instead.
Think of the princess
Think of the prince.

Think of the house we've built
from sticks
and bricks
to keep the wolf at bay.

Don't consider the wolf.
Don't think of the shadow.
Don't think of the woods
and the claws
and the way we cried.

Because when is a wolf not a wolf?
When is a wolf not a wolf?

There is a child in my chest.

We are not quiet or calm.
We are loud and demanding.

We squeeze our heart
because we've been scared before.

Don't be scared, she says.
Don't be scared, she pleads.
Don't be scared, she begs.

She says to me,
She says to her,
Think of the fairytales instead.

Think of the butcher,
the baker.
Think of the castles we've scaled
in armor and valor
to scare the wolf
away.

Don't believe the wolf.
Don't fear the shadow.
Don't flee from the woods
and the claws
and the way I
cried.

Because when is a wolf not a wolf?
When is a wolf not a wolf?

This time
I say to the girl in my chest
This time
I say to the wolf at my breast

This time
Little Red
has
T E E TH.
