I wore my best little grin tonight With a bow on my fear and my collar tied tight I stepped in the room with a dangerous plan And a note in my pocket saying, “catch me if you can” I know all the exits, I passed every door But the mouth of the night looked worth running toward So don’t call me foolish, don’t call me sweet I came with a heartbeat begging for teeth Oh, what a shame You’re shaking so well You look like dessert And you rang your own bell It’s so easy being eaten When you know you want the fall So easy being eaten When you’re smiling through it all No need to chase me down the street No need to drag me from my seat Just open wide and count to ten I’ll do the hard part, let me in So easy, so easy Open wide and let me in I tried being proper, I tried being good I tried not to wonder if a hungry girl could Make me feel wanted in a terrible way Like a secret little supper that asked if it could stay I signed no confession, I made no excuse But I did wear shoes that were easy to lose So if I disappear with a grin on my cheek Tell them I was punctual, tender, and weak Oh, what a treat No trap and no fight You season yourself And step into the bite It’s so easy being eaten When you know you want the fall So easy being eaten When you’re smiling through it all No need to chase me down the street No need to drag me from my seat Just open wide and count to ten I’ll do the hard part, let me in So easy, so easy Open wide and let me in I could run, but where’s the drama? I could scream, but that seems rude I could beg for one more minute But I’d rather be consumed Fold me small and call me dinner Hum my name behind your lips Make the curtain drop around me With a swallow and a kiss Such manners, such nerve Such a brave little course You climbed on the plate With a fork and no remorse It’s so easy being eaten When the danger feels like home So easy being eaten When you hate to sleep alone No need to hunt me through the night No need to prove your appetite Just open wide and count to ten I’ll do the hard part, let me in So easy, so easy Open wide and let me in So easy... So easy... Being eaten again
