[Verse 1] Red coat trailing through the fog machine trees Got a basket full of things you don’t need Cherry lip gloss and a switchblade smile Said she’d be at grandma’s — that was a lie She took the long way where the streetlights hum Where the bass hits low like a loaded gun Every shadow got a name she knows Every wolf already owes her clothes [Pre-Chorus] Velvet hood up, eyes like black glass Cigarette smoke through the tall wet grass She said, “Baby, I’m the thing they warned you about” Then she laughed and let the reverb out [Chorus] Little red, little red, walking crooked lines Through the static and the pines Little red, little red, teeth against my neck Every fairy tale’s a wreck Come a little closer if you dare There’s perfume and decay in the air Little red, little red — you were never scared [Verse 2] Grandma’s house got a neon sign now Dusty turntable spinning vinyl down Wolf’s inside wearing her reading glasses Pouring bourbon into broken wine glasses She knocked twice with a rhythm like a trap snare Kicked the door in, said, “Honey, I’m aware” Pulled a chair up, crossed her legs real slow Said, “What big eyes — yeah, I run the show” [Pre-Chorus] Fur coat open, nothing underneath the dare Shoegaze halo in her tangled hair She said, “Darling, I’ve been stranger than your dreams” Then she bit the dark until it screamed [Chorus] Little red, little red, walking crooked lines Through the static and the pines Little red, little red, teeth against my neck Every fairy tale’s a wreck Come a little closer if you dare There’s perfume and decay in the air Little red, little red — you were never scared [Bridge — tape stop, reverb wash, stripped to bass and hats] She said the woods were full of boys who stare She said the wolves all want to braid her hair She said the path was never straight to begin with She said, “I ate the ending — want a remix?” [Final Chorus — full wall of sound, shoegaze wash over G-house beat] Little red, little red, glitching through the pines Distortion dripping down the vines Little red, little red, blood-moon silhouette The only monster you won’t forget Come a little closer — yeah, you will She’s the ghost on every bass drop hill Little red, little red — she’s hunting still [Outro — sub-bass decay, record scratch, pitched vocal sample fading] She don’t walk… she drifts… …and the wolf? He followed. [Fade out]
