Languid Licking Lollipop
A work in progress. Again born of a riff that I think heard while running one day years ago. This will sort of fall somewhere between EDM/metal unless the song leads elsewhere, as it sometimes does.
The lyrics are deliberately alliterative and chosen as much for prosody as relevance. The genesis was finding phrases to fit the rhythm, nothing more grandiose than that. The grandiosity always comes later. As JRR said, the tale grew in the telling. A bit pretentious (understatement of the week) in its execution, but I don't care because I'm in this for my own entertainment. Not to be taken too seriously is all I'm saying.
Here's what I have so far, edits are likely. I don't have a name for the tune yet, although I may go with the title of this post. This will make slightly more sense when put to music, and the structure of the song is mostly complete, although that will likely also undergo further development as I record it.

Him
Intro
surreptitious schemer
chuckle chortle chatter
lambskin latent lupine
tickle tailored tatter
Verse 1
slipping slinking foot pads
drowned out by the noise
bacchanalia ballyhoo
garish girls brainless boys
stare slowly sweeping
focus coalesce
sneaking snicker sweetlings
aggress and possess

brashly braying bebop
furtive glance commence dance
sugar sweet soda pop
Her
Pre Verse (intro 2)
maiden meekly modest
demur delicate
duplicitous drapery
simulated celibate
Verse 2
dark path descending
concealed crimson cape
purity pretending
trace hint of lace
stare slowly sweeping
chance opportunity
cocksure closer creeping
ensare with impunity
Chorus 2
red riding randy
deadly deeds dandy
silken thighs conceal surprise
covet carnal candy

beastly bilking milkshake
craving carnal cupcake
bombshell sweetmeat sells
no foot on the heartbrake
Verse 4
too late the tell
madness in her eyes
wariness awoken
wolf in sheep's disguise
cocksure captured sleeping
now fully ensnared
widow black unweeping
victory declared
Bridge
tickle tailgate truncate
primitive the primate
monopolize the mandate
prognosticate prevaricate
consecrate and consummate
intoxicate then copulate
obfuscate and confiscate
propagate then dominate
Verse 5
dark fate befallen
sadness in her eyes
another foe defeated
sixpence none the wise
sowing precedes reaping
longer grows a list
widow black unweeping
silhouette fades to mist
Chorus 4
languid licking lollipop
lupine transform lambchop
game of chance blame romance
sugar sweet soda pop
languid licking lollipop
rock until the ball drops
hidden strings deadly sting
sugar sweet soda pop

The rest of these are leftovers that I liked but couldn't find a specific use. They work with the music but otherwise don't make particular sense in the narrative. Not that the previous lyrics made a lot of sense either.
mango bongo dingo
the postman’s name was Ringo
he leashed a pink flamingo
mango bongo dingo
freaking leaking tweaking
flying through a window
sneaking creaking squeaking
cagey clever widow
Mabel was quite able
to clean up her table
her mink coat was sable
her thoughts unstable
powdered feathered scattered
thoughts are all akimbo
glassy trinkets shattered
slipping tripping limbo
speculations fabrications
plots run amok
machinations conflagrations
design or dumb luck
brazen battered hardcore
choking cloaking bedsore
thunder crashes nevermore
brazen battered hardcore
kilgore bangalore manticore
he knocked upon the wrong door
they nailed his head into the floor
