Lyrics[]
Check you out in your big metal shoe
Fighting so many kids, don't know what to do
You got some heavy metal, but big ain't bad
This little riding hood's just way too rad
Mirror, mirror, who will lose it all?
Soundly whip those children or your cradle's gonna fall
Cuz I'm alive
Like a puppet with a heartbeat
I'm on fire
And I'm flying off the dope sheet
You're gonna wind
Up like that robin at your last tweet
You're heading for a fall
And you're nearing the end
Like a house made of straw
No one's putting you together again[1]
Best get nimble and you better be quick
Or I'm gonna break your bones with some stones and sticks
Run, run, run, run just as fast as you can
You better make a wish like the fisherman
Ashes, ashes guess who's falling down
Sparring in glass slippers and you're bound to break your crown
And I'm just right
Like a porridge at a nice heat
I'm gonna fly
With the swans and show my beauty
Gonna get popped
Like a weasel til you retreat
The sky is gonna fall
You'll be feeling the pain
You would be great and terrible
But only if you had a brain
Pop goes the weasel, time to defeat you
Hickory dickory, flawless victory
Carve your tail like three blind mice
Better listen up, I'm not saying it twice
Ring around the rosie, you can't oppose me
Let you know now, I'm here to take you down
You're gonna meet your end in a splendor
No more pretending, your fall pending
Your star won't twinkle, squeeze to a wrinkle
Bloody up the scene, a nightmarish fiend
London Bridge is down, you can't make a sound
The wheels on your bus have just been crushed
Eenie meenie my, time for you to die
Catch 'em by the toe, never letting go
No time to pray, it's your last day
A, B, C, D, you can't see me
Cuz I'm alive
Like a puppet with a heartbeat
I'm on fire
And I'm flying off the dope sheet
You're gonna wind
Up like that robin at your last tweet
You're heading for a fall
And you're nearing the end
Like a house made of straw
No one's putting you together again[2]
