snow white and rose red


i will see you
in a glass box
oh my daughter
if i can't have yours then you'll be mine

bianca never
asked for the weather
i'm not her mother, but
she doesn't know better

oh my darling dear
my sweet see here see here
pussy's in the well
to her death she fell

i will see you
in a glass box
oh my lover
if you can't be true then you will lie

bianca never
wondered whether
she was my daughter, but
i wouldn't have let her

oh my darling dear
my sweet see here see here
my mittens have i lost
so who will pay the cost?

blood drops down satin sheets
silver needles taste so sweet
give me something better
i'll eat your heart out

poison'd apple pie
oh what a good girl am i!
stick in my thumb
i'll pull your heart out

bianca never
breathed, instead her
sweet little head flopped to the floor
and i did her one better
