lyrics

oh how suitable, you pounced upon him like a mouse!
within a season, you will turn the poor boy inside out.
and when your appetite decides that he is quite unfit,
you'll claw his soul out 'til he has to see a therapist.

oh how suitable, your eyes glow green and so do his!
they squint and bat and widen every time you reminisce.
he's buried himself in the coffin of your old duvet,
and you're still crouching in the dark in search of fresher prey.

"all i want is to die young, it's not a distant goal to reach"

tigress, tigress, starving slightness carried him off with your teeth.
land on your feet!

it drops a few degrees and hearts begin to wander.
i could swear you saw a ghost when you first laid your eyes upon her.
and although previous experience should've taught you to be better,
your wits still melt down your spine each time that you reread her letters.
still her bootleg polaroids are hidden underneath your bed.
you haven't given yourself time to get her face out of your head.
instead, you pour another drink or tear some other girl apart; you think you're being so mature but it's so juvenile at heart.

and she said,
"all i want is to die young, it's not a distant goal to reach"

tigress, tigress, starving slightness carried him off with your teeth.
land on your feet!
