ringlefinch - edward gorey's gory stories (tall tales version) lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
i thought i lost her at h+llo
when she said, “one for joy, and two for sorrow”
she weighed my heart there for a while
then let it fall to join the others in the pile

[pre+chorus]
and she said, “do you think you want to know me?
do you want to map my soul?
then come and crack my spine, and turn the page my dear
and i will swallow you up whole

[chorus]
‘cause i read edward gorey’s gory stories
when i was far too young
if i’m an open book, come choose your own adventure
or has the tiger got your tongue?”

[verse 2]
i said, “there’s no surprises here
i always read the last page first
and i’ve got cheat notes in all your margins” and she said
“then come, dear reader, do your worst!

[pre+chorus]
there’s no york notes to help you now
and you are going in alone
for there are parts of me have not been read before
and here be monsters…
[chorus]
‘cause i read edward gorey’s gory stories
when i was far too young
if i’m an open book, come choose your own adventure
or has the tiger got your tongue?”

[instrumental]

[chorus]
“you read edward gorey’s gory stories
when you were far too young
if you’re an open book, i’ll choose my own adventure
and it’s only just begun

come let’s read edward gorey’s gory stories
so late into the night
the candles gutter gently up there on the mantle
and softly fade from sight
and i guess we’ll be alright.”

i guess we’ll be alright
