Lyric

Under paper moons, I slip by your door

Tiptoe in geta, two knocks, then four

Foxfire twirls where the canal runs black

A sleeve of sparks and a shadow on your back

Don’t chase my tail, I’ll vanish in a laugh

Tiny bells shake, then the night splits in half

Hush now, count to three

Something cute is haunting me

Soft teeth, silk hair

Say my name if you dare

One blink, two blink, gone

Then I’m singing in your palm

Yokai girls, come play

Yokai girls, all day

Hold my hand, then run

We glow and we haunt the sun

Yokai girls, come play (Come play)

Yokai girls, all day (All day)

White mask grin on the train platform edge

Candy in my sleeve and a wish on the ledge

I leave little footprints in the rice-paper rain

You swear you saw me, then you see me again

Tanuki drums from the snack stand roof

I make your heartbeat trip in deuce

Sweet little curse with a ribbon bow

Follow my laugh and you’ll never know

Hush now, count to three

Something cute is haunting me

Soft teeth, silk hair

Say my name if you dare

One blink, two blink, gone

Then I’m singing in your palm

Yokai girls, come play

Yokai girls, all day

Hold my hand, then run

We glow and we haunt the sun

Yokai girls, come play (Come play)

Yokai girls, all day (All day)

If you’re brave, come closer

I won’t bite too hard

Maybe just your shadow

Maybe just your heart

Lanterns spin

Bells begin

We bloom again

And again

Yokai girls, come play

Yokai girls, all day

Hold my hand, then run

We glow and we haunt the sun

Yokai girls, come play (Come play)

Yokai girls, all day (All day)

Yokai girls, stay near

We disappear, then reappear
