The Wolf Among Us - Dan Bull, Adam Harrington

The place where fables are found

Grimy roads replace the yellow bricks

Paved on the ground

(How many of them stay here?)

I’m unable to count

Because labelled as outcasts

They stay underground

(They keep themselves to themselves)

Invisible among these mundies

(They use a spell to repel)

Every community needs a way to keep in order

(Someone to police the place)

A sort of senior lawman

Formerly the Big Bad Wolf

They call him Bigby

(Went from eating kids to drinking neat whisky)

When lying alone at night

I don’t quite know why

He’s got the hots for Snow White

(I know, right?)

All it took to hook him long ago

Was a lone bite

It was so wrong (Yet so right)

In Fabletown they face a daily struggle

To escape the place they came from

And the range of ways

That they can raise up trouble

(Dark forces want to see this place

Razed to rubble but Bigby’s a razor blade

Erasing any trace of stubble)

Perhaps one too many close shaves

Check the mirror, see things a little clearer

The answer’s getting nearer

He needs to keep his fellow fables

Out of harm’s way

Be they in Bullfinch Street

Or at the farm, hey

Stop crying over spilt milk

(Pick up the dairy pail)

And dig up the truth

That’s hidden underneath this fairy tale

You better beware, for there’s a wolf among us

But the truth is the food for which he hungers
