And the boy cried wolf
In the trees, the trees, the ornamental leaves
And he turned his head, let the arrows fly
Innocence had its day
And the boy cried wolf
Wolf don't come
Torn reborn the cries of our dismay
And they fell on their knees
Well they drew him from the forest like they draw blood
Passed the bowl around
Wolf within
Boy cried wolf
Are nothin' to the wind but whose to mind
Innocence had its day
A prayin' for the lamb that is himself
Wolf within
And the boy cried wolf
They bring me flowers that are myself
I don't care, I don't mind
And he turned his head, let the arrows fly
All the fuss and fight none above a whisper
Slain the lamb that is myself
You're in the body, I am the stream
Ahh ahh ahh ahh
I am the wake of everything
Ohh the story's told been told, retold
In the ancient mold where they're dancin' down
Calling to the moon but it don't answer
Boy cried wolf
Garlands of blood that are myself
Boy cried wolf
Tied him to a tree like St. Sebastian
From the secret scriptures to the tabloids
Wolf within
Tied him to a tree like St. Sebastian
Wolf don't come
The kings are lifted up and kings are thrown
I don't know, I don't know
And the blood, the blood, the sacramental blood
Lost, received, retrieved the human tide
From the soul of gold to the belly of a boy
In the trees, the trees, the ornamental leaves
Well they drew him from the forest like they draw blood
Wolf don't come
