Edward Goreys Gory Stories by Ringlefinch Lyrics

{Instrumental Opening}

[Verse]
I thought I lost her at hello
When she said "I want for joy, and 2- for sorrow"
She waived my heart there for awhile
I let it fall to join the others in the pile

[Pre-Chorus]
She said
"Do you think you want to know me?
Do you want love my soul?
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]
I said there's no surprises here
I always read the last page first
And I got- cheat notes
I know your margins!

[Pre-Chorus]
And she said
"Come deary to do your worst
There's no [?] to help you now
You are going in alone
'Cause there are parts of me- have not been read before
And- hairy 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 Bridge}

[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 candle's good [?] gently up there on the mantle

And I guess we'll be alright

I guess we'll be alright
