False Led

Wide eyes beguiled by pursed lips and strings Temptation crouches low as a tiger Hunting coy glances and diamond rings Tiger now an ox who plots beside her Promises of riches, fame, and love Sing like a fairy, little gold canary The wolf now disguised as a sheepskin glove Once gentle, he acts to the contrary And they'll dance as snakes in courtship smother and crush their ribs and wants Blame the rat for sinking their warship Spell out expectations in different fonts
