There's sunshine a-coming
I play in the sand with my sugary mice
Time to share a big surprise
About my friend the wolf
He's my baby brother
He's been there through thick and thin
Those villagers don't take to him
But I reckon we'll show them
Why should I listen to the preacher?
Why must I throw all my treasure down the well?
Why should I lie to the children?
The truth has a habit of rising to the surface
All I've ever wanted
Is a feeling of clarity
All my life the anxiety
Has been lurking at the door
The wolf, he protects me
I help him out when he gets into scrapes
Bandage his paws with surgical tape
And cut his hair with scissors
Who are they to tell us what to do?
We're going to run away and start a big adventure
Building a ladder over the moon
They'll never bring us back down now
We've been circling far over the deep blue ocean
Having some wine, and a good time
There's no storms a-coming
Where did I put my sugary mice?
The pie I'm baking is coming on nice
I baked my friend the wolf
He doesn't seem too tasty
We should have used more of your spice
Think you can fool the great and good?
Well we'll have fun finding out
