[Verse 1: Alex Oliver]
'Member growing up, as a buck blowing up
Even then taking drugs, get in trouble and disrupt
Adults would erupt, consult my mom and such
They would try to tell stories, stop me from acting up
Teacher tell a tale of a woman that would tail
If you told a tall story it gets gory in detail
Oh well, I guess they failed I was strongly against it
I should mention...tale got my attention
Beautiful woman, stalks juvenile students
In dead of night, in ya’ sights stops where ya' heading
You're full fright, it’s alright, just asks a question
Makes you feel, there's no need to be threatened
Flowing black hair, glowing beauty that's rare
Cover her face they'd swear, and she makes you wanna stare
She speaks her words, your death's ensured
And if you run away, your fate's still secured
Once upon a time, a woman was so fine
Men thought she was divine, and deserved her own shine
Her jealous husband with overzealous children
And he felt threatened she got men's attention
He's overbearing, when they’re all staring
He’s glaring at her and snapping at her
Then they're feeling distant, when it gets consistent
She starts to wary, their marriage hairy
Sh-sh-she meets a jerry that treats her fairly
Its getting scary wants to remarry
He thinks she’s sexy, she thinks he's sexy
What happens next B, you should guess see
Husband finds out, in a rage all about
Takes a knife to her mouth, stretch the whole thing out
No one will think that you're pretty again
Blood on the floor, screams hear all of them
She dies of suicide right in front of the man
But the tale says that she will rise again
With vengeance in hand, take revenge on all man
She'll take a knife and stab you til’ you die, take ya' skin
Why is this fiction stuck in my dome?
Why I'm thinking about story when I'm on my own?
I'm remembering this story when I'm walking home
Strange feeling, but I guess I'm not alone
[Chorus: Alex Oliver]
Ma said beware of the slit mouth woman
Ma said beware of the slit mouth woman
Ma said beware of the slit mouth woman
Of the slit mouth woman
Of the slit mouth woman
You encounter her, then it must be fate
Can't get away, something you can't shake
No right answer everything's a mistake
Suffer same fate if you see her face
Ma-Ma-Ma said beware of the slit mouth woman
Ma said beware of the slit mouth woman
Ma said beware of the slit mouth woman
Of the slit mouth woman
Of the slit mouth woman
You encounter her, then it must be fate
Can't get away, something you can't shake
No right answer everything's a mistake
Suffer same fate if you see her face
[Verse 2: Alex Oliver]
In the park for this story, so I move a lil' quickly
Remark softly "I'm sickly" and I feel a bit chilly
Yea it's dark and stormy and I feel a bit silly
But this arc ain't really 'bout the tale of two cities
Walking home, see an attractive Asian
I'm contemplating attempts at persuasion
Mouth's half covered, I'm ignoring information
Approaches me, for conversation
She asks “am I pretty?” and I couldn't say no
Hand reaches for her mask, takes it off so slow
Scar from her mouth to each ear lobe
She asks "am I pretty now?" and I'm just froze
Withdraws large, blood smeared sheers
Paralyzed right here
See her insides from her mouth, ear to ear
Turn around, try to run, in hopes to get clear
But her footsteps are near, I always hear
Still try to book it even if though I know
She's in the corner of my eye no matter where I go
Get back to my apartment, close all compartments
Feel my heart my stop, then proceed to vomit
Can't go to sleep, can't even eat
Peep every few hours, trying to fight the sleep
Doze off for second I reckon, but then
There's a blade in the air followed by a door slam
[Chorus B: Alex Oliver]
Ma said beware of the slit mouth woman
Ma said beware of the slit mouth woman
Ma said beware of the slit mouth woman
Of the slit mouth woman
Of the slit mouth woman
You encounter her, then it must be fate
Can't get away, something you can't shake
No right answer everything's a mistake
Suffer same fate if you see her face
Ma-Ma-Ma said beware of the slit mouth woman
Ma said beware of the slit mouth woman
Ma said beware of the slit mouth woman
Of the slit mouth woman
Of the slit mouth woman
You encounter her, then it must be fate
Can't get away, something you can't shake
No right answer everything's a mistake
Suffer same fate if you see her face
Ma-Ma-Ma said beware of the slit mouth woman
Ma said beware of the slit mouth woman
Ma said beware of the slit mouth woman
Of the slit mouth woman
Of the slit mouth woman
You encounter her, then it must be fate
Can't get away, something you can't shake
No right answer everything's a mistake
Suffer same fate if you see her face
