Lyric

Honey Trap Shuffle

Nocturne Echo

I followed your sugar trail

Past the peppermints and pie

Your grin was a paper moon

With a silver little lie

You said, "Come in, little darling"

In a voice of velvet lace

But the floorboards gave you away

With a creak in the wrong old place

Gumdrop on your collar

Golden syrup on your hand

I knew that sweet was trouble

Before I crossed your candy land

You smiled like a Sunday sermon

I smiled like I understood

Then the lantern in your window

Turned red in the sugar wood

Honey trap shuffle

Honey trap shuffle

Sweet tooth, bad news

Honey trap shuffle

Honey trap shuffle

Honey trap shuffle

I know how that game moves

Oh, I know

In the kitchen of your kingdom

Jars of haunted jam

Little shoes in the sugar bowl

And a note from another lamb

Your apron looked so perfect

White as fallen snow

But your pocket held a ticket

Marked "baby, don't go"

I laughed at your little mischief

You laughed at my pretty nerve

Two liars in a china house

Trying hard not to swerve

Gumdrop on your collar

Golden syrup on your hand

I knew that sweet was trouble

Before I crossed your candy land

You smiled like a Sunday sermon

I smiled like I understood

Then the lantern in your window

Turned red in the sugar wood

Honey trap shuffle

Honey trap shuffle

Sweet tooth, bad news

Honey trap shuffle

Honey trap shuffle

Honey trap shuffle

I know how that game moves

Oh, I know

Now the moon's a cracked saucer

Over your frosting roof

I'm not your lost little bedtime

I'm the truth beneath the proof

Keep your sugared warning

Keep your rose and rhyme

I can taste the exit

When the room falls out of time

Honey trap shuffle

Honey trap shuffle

Sweet tooth, bad news

Honey trap shuffle

Honey trap shuffle

Honey trap shuffle

I know how that game moves

Honey trap
