lyrics

Ohohoh, I will pick you up
And twirl you round
And take you home
Follow my silver string
Or the minotaur may lick your bones
You're safe with me
Only out there do beasts roam

Here you're
Safe as a honeycomb
Ease up at the feet of my throne
Lie down, sweet
Rest that sleepy dome

Mmmhmmmm

Now you're wrapped around my finger
Won't you stick around?
Silken strands will start to wring your neck
I don't suspect you'll make it out
Told you I'd make you a nice dinner
I keep my word, yes, trust this pout
You should know better
It's forecast
See that red hourglass
Know your time is running out

Oh there's no running now
Watch the sand trickle down
Caught in my web
Climbed up my spout
And now
There's no running out

Ohohoh give up the escape
No there's no use
My wriggly little worm
It ain't pronounced "Ariadne"
You must have misheard
My threads will pull ya tighter
The mightier ya squirm

There's no
Need to twist and turn
You'll give yourself ropeburn
And if you burn my supper little bugger
Watch how quickly I can turn

You around until...

You're wrapped around my finger
And you can't get out
Silken strands will start to wring your neck
What'd you expect to come about
Told you I'd make you a nice dinner
I keep my word don't ever doubt
You should know better
You won't last
See that red hourglass
Know your time is running out

Oh there's no running now
Watch the sand trickle down
Caught in my web
Climbed up my spout
And now
There's no running out

Hush
Let's not rush this
Hush
No interruptions
You look scrumptious
Gonna savor this
Every taste and all your touches

Hush
Let's not rush this
Hush
You got me blushin'
Hush
You're so scrumptious
It's survival of the fittest and you visited a huntress

Yes, you're wrapped around my finger
And you can't get out
Fangs will sprout and sink into your neck
What'd you expect when ya came around?
Told you I'd make you a nice dinner
I keep my word don't ever doubt
You should know better
You won't last
See that red hourglass
Know your time is running out

Oh there's no running now
Watch the sand trickle down
Caught in my web
Climbed up my spout
And now
There's no running

No, there's no running now
Watch the sand trickle down
Caught in my web
Climbed up my spout
And now
There's no running out

Sweetheart don't be silly
This will only hurt an itsy bitsy
