3ringsleft - Cry Wolf Lyrics

Troubled upstairs
Have you noticed it?
We're all made here
'Least that's what the voices said
Monsters of men
And we go with it
My bark is bad as my bite
So you better play nice

We got bad behavior
But we keep it on a leash
Keep it on a leash
Keep me on a leash, uh-oh
No rest for the wicked
So you know we never sleep
No, we never sleep
No, we never catch a wink, uh-oh

Finders keepers when they drop like flies
Shoulda known better than to go out at night
Bare my fangs so everybody knows
Whose cage they're rattlin' before they cry wolf
Awoo
Ooh-whoa
Awoo
Ooh-whoa

Th-Th-Thought I had my demons
But the truth is they have me
They're screamin' at me to decide
Whose side I'm on, oh
Lick my wounds and gnash my teeth
Oh, no beauty can save this beast
A Frankenstein as savage as they come, oh

Thought that I could tame it
But it's goin' to the dogs
Goin' to the dogs
Goin' up in flames, uh-oh
And they feed me like a titan
But they keep me on a chain
They call me insane
Just like it's my name
We can't escape their domain

Finders keepers when they drop like flies
Shoulda known better than to go out at night
Bare my fangs so everybody knows
Whose cage they're rattlin' before they cry wolf
Awoo
Ooh-whoa
Awoo
Ooh-whoa

("Ladies and ungentlemen, the only and only Iron Maiden, Empress of Rome, and Queen of the Mob, our She-wolf!")

Darling, this is Sparta
Born to be a martyr
Doesn't matter how I bargain
Beg or bribe or barter
Darling, this is Carthage
Bathed me in the carnage
Stuff their mouths with cake
And they won't recognize the bondage
Panting through the snowfall
Chased me through the boneyard
Hear them huff and puff
And howl and growls
As they get closer
Barking mad we all are
But I fought your corner
Little Red strayed off the path
Into a pack of big, bad wolves

("You are a flower among weeds, my Empress of Rome." "But not easily plucked.")
Finders keepers when they drop like flies
Shoulda turned my tail and run right for my life
Darling, I was raised by animals
So please think carefully before you cry wolf

Finders keepers when they drop like flies
Shoulda known better than to go out at night
Bare my fangs so everybody knows
Whose cage they're rattlin' before they cry wolf
Awoo
Ooh-whoa
Awoo
Before they cry wolf
