*“The song "Don’t Wanna Fight” by Alabama Shakes was important in the writing of this; it started because of the squeal Brittany Howard does at the beginning of that song. That moment changed music for me. It was so intense. I wanted to do something that had a similar build up. I didn’t want the subject matter to be contrived, so I made up a story. I didn’t think it would be right for it to be a love song. I came up with this story about a woman who is about to be lobotomized. She tries to escape from the situation with a pair of scissors she has in her pocket. She’s going to cut her hair too. That’s where the grow back part of it comes from." Happy Fits on PopMatters
[Verse 1] Silly, silly Mrs. Mae; she’s got herself into trouble Ten screws, they’re never coming loose; they're running up and down the table But she feels good, never upset; she’s always been ill but able She can run whenever she wants and everyone knows she will How she’d never cut her hair; A smooth, silky lightning in the incandescent air She’s a cool, crazy killer, Mrs. Mae What they don’t understand is that she’s almost already dead! [Pre-Chorus] Let it grow back, let it grow back Let it grow back, let it grow back (Heee!) Let it grow back, let it grow back (Aaah!) Let it grow back, let it grow [Chorus] Let it into the dark! Let it into the dark! Let it into the dark! (I can tell whose fault it's gonna be) Tinted walls in a shuddered sprawl and a sight too plain to see If you keep moving, you'll get it back And no one's gonna take you away If you feel good, tell 'em quick And no one’s gonna take you, no one’s gonna take you! [Verse 2] Silly, silly Mrs. Mae; she’s got herself into trouble Ten men, emergencies at hand, they’ve run and got the jumper cables But she feels good, never upset; she’s always been ill but able She can run whenever she wants and everyone knows she will How she'd never cut her hair A smooth silky lightning in the incandescent air She's a cool, crazy killer, Mrs. Mae What they don't understand is that She's got a pair of scissors in her pocket and she's really gonna cut it so they better run or else they're gonna get it! [Pre-Chorus] Let it grow back, let it grow back Let it grow back, let it grow back (Heee!) Let it grow back, let it grow back (Aaaah!) Let it grow back, let it grow [Chorus] Let it into the dark!

this has the BIGGEST night in the woods vibes omg
[Verse 1]
Silly, silly Mrs. Mae; she’s got herself into trouble
Ten screws, they’re never coming loose; they're running up and down the table
But she feels good, never upset; she’s always been ill but able
She can run whenever she wants and everyone knows she will
How she’d never cut her hair;
A smooth, silky lightning in the incandescent air
She’s a cool, crazy killer, Mrs. Mae
What they don’t understand is that she’s almost already dead!
[Pre-Chorus]
Let it grow back, let it grow back
Let it grow back, let it grow back
(Heee!) Let it grow back, let it grow back
(Aaah!) Let it grow back, let it grow
[Chorus]
Let it into the dark!
Let it into the dark!
Let it into the dark!
(I can tell whose fault it's gonna be)
Tinted walls in a shuddered sprawl and a sight too plain to see
If you keep moving, you'll get it back
And no one's gonna take you away
If you feel good, tell 'em quick
And no one’s gonna take you, no one’s gonna take you!
[Verse 2]
Silly, silly Mrs. Mae; she’s got herself into trouble
Ten men, emergencies at hand, they’ve run and got the jumper cables
But she feels good, never upset; she’s always been ill but able
She can run whenever she wants and everyone knows she will
How she'd never cut her hair
A smooth silky lightning in the incandescent air
She's a cool, crazy killer, Mrs. Mae
What they don't understand is that
She's got a pair of scissors in her pocket and she's really gonna cut it so they better run or else they're gonna get it!
[Pre-Chorus]
Let it grow back, let it grow back
Let it grow back, let it grow back
(Heee!) Let it grow back, let it grow back
(Aaaah!) Let it grow back, let it grow
[Chorus]
Let it into the dark!
Let it into the dark!
Let it into the dark!
(I can tell whose fault it's gonna be)
Tinted walls in a shuddered sprawl and a sight too plain to see
If you keep moving, you'll get it back
And no one's gonna take you away
If you feel good, tell 'em quick
And no one’s gonna take you, no one’s gonna take you!
[Bridge]
I can tell whose fault it's gonna be
Tinted walls in a shuddered sprawl and a sight too plain to see
If you keep moving, you'll get it back
And no one's gonna take you away
If you feel good, tell 'em quick
And no one’s gonna take you, no one’s gonna take you!
[Outro]
(Let it into the dark!)
I can tell whose fault it's gonna be
(Let it into the dark!)
Tinted walls in a shuddered sprawl and a sight too plain to see
(Let it into the dark!)
If you keep moving, you'll get it back
And no one's gonna take you away
(Let it into the dark!)
If you feel good, tell 'em quick

Silly, silly Mrs. Mae
She's got herself into trouble
Ten screws
They're never coming lose
They're running up and down the table
But she feels good, never upset
She's always been ill, but able
She can run whenever she wants
And everyone knows she will
How she never cut her hair
Smooth as silky lightning
In the incandescent air
She's a cool, crazy killer, Mrs. Mae
What they don't understand is that she's almost at her end!
Let it grow back, let it grow back
Let it grow back, let it grow back
Let it grow back, let it grow back
Let it grow back, let it grow
Let it into the dark, let it into the dark
Let it into the dark (I can tell whose fault it's gonna be)
Tinted walls and shirts fall and a sight too plain to see
If you keep moving,
you'll get it back and no one's gonna take you away
If you feel good, turn 'em quick,
and no one's gonna take you, no one's gonna take it!
Silly, silly Mrs. Mae

And everyone knows she will
How she never cut her hair
Smooth as silky lightning
In the incandescent air
She's a cool, crazy killer, Mrs. Mae
What they don't understand is that she's got a pair of scissors in
her pocket and she's really gonna cut it so
they better run or else they're gonna get it!
Let it grow back, let it grow back
Let it grow back, let it grow back
Let it grow back, let it grow back
Let it grow back, let it grow
Let it into the dark, let it into the dark
Let it into the dark (I can tell who's fault it's gonna be)
