Oh, honey...


A moth in the flame

Plays a dangerous game

Seeking golden arches, 

It falls to its demise


Its wings peel into ashes

Never to fly again

It lowers its pretty lashes

And sucked into the evil of the land


This is the natural way!


The natural way, my dear

Don't you ever forget that

For every hero and their shiny rears

Are really all just twats, aren't they? (Mumbles, distracted)


Oh, yes! Where was I...


A mouse in its trap

Grows weary and fat

As the cat prowls closer

And that's just that!


These are the cruel beginnings of the world

My princess, my dear, naivete within your fist curled

The might of a beast in your heart, 

But a beast can easily be marred!

(Dramatic laugh)


Oh how this is fun!

You are my student, 

My shining sun...

If I were you I'd run. (Tune grows louder and she sings along, swaying carelessly)


Moths belong in flames

Just like mice in their traps

These aren't my aims

This is just me not giving a c**p 


Birds feathers are plucked

And made for my meal

They're f**ked

But this was the deal


This is the natural way of life!


The natural way, darling

Don't you ever forget that

It may seem so alarming

But you're a mouse and I, a starved cat


The natural way of life!

Oh how dreary, so dull

But I can make it rife

Until your bellies are full


A little contract is all it can take

A single drop of fresh blood

Soon, you will wake

I hate to break it to you, honey

It's also going to cost you some money (cha-ching!)


Oh don't give me those eyes, 

Don't cry, don't run

No one ever dies

Having a little bit of fun (ha! ha!)


This is the natural way 

Of

LIFE!
