LYRICS:
There's a man in the darkness of the night
A cunning casanova who's as sharp as a knife
He'll swoop right in and whisper in your ear
And tell you sweet young ladies just what you want to hear
Big flashy smile, sure and in control
And piercing eyes that seem to look right into your soul
Feels like a dream with his arms around you wrapped
But then before you know it now he's got you trapped!
He's the kind of man who'll take you by the hand
Promise you the earth, the moon and stars
But behind those eyes is a cesspool full of lies
He'll use you up and leave you only scars
But I don't think he'll get far!
A sneaky thief, he goes from town to town
To find a lonely victim he can go take down
He plays the prince, makes them think he's a big shot
He woos 'em and he weds 'em then he takes all they got
He targets in on his next potential prey
A gal named Katie Ledford who he thinks he'll sweep away
He makes his move, tries to look like he's a catch
But little does he know that he's just met his match!
He's the kind of man who'll take you by the hand
Promise you the earth, the moon and stars
But behind those eyes is a cesspool full of lies
He'll use you up and leave you only scars
But I know he won't get far!
So Katie waits as he moves in, she knows that he's no good
He sings his song she plays along just like he hoped she would
They dine and dance the night away, he can't believe his luck
He says "Why don't we catch a ride?" she says "Let's take my truck."
And so he goes along and he hops in the truck with her
He thinks, "This one was easy!" as his vision starts to blur
Then things go dark, and when he awakens next
He's locked inside a room and facing every ex!
She's the kind of girl who'll take you for a whirl
Makes you think that she's an easy prey
But she's way too wise, and sees though all your lies
And if you try her you won't get away
'Cause she's gonna make you pay!

"Now he's locked inside a room facing every ex!"
This made me laugh so hard.
*he wakes up, sees all of them* OH SHI- *they promptly start pummulling him*
5 exposed cassanovas disliked this song
Over a year of time and there still is only five dislikes, what a delight.
@@glorytoarstotzka8634 indeed
Sorry but 10 more were caught
we stand 9
11 now
I'm convinced this takes place in Alabama, Mississippi, Missouri, or Arkansas and you cannot convince me otherwise
Family reunions are a nightmare in the South
Yep, I’ve been taken for a ride a time or two by a cunning Casanova. Katie is my hero!
Hell yeah, catchy as ever. I love how you tell a story with each song.
You always manage to give your stories an unexpected (and here hilarious) conclusion :)
Love the song👍
The world needs more music like this band produces and this band is the best personally.
Just bought it off iTunes 👍
Kind of a Jack the Ripper theme going on there.
Definitely James Bond though.
I went down to see the comments and then go back up to like the song, then I realized I already did XD
I can't believe your stuff doesn't have more views. I love your music.
If you ever feel like doing something dark dark, I think there's a lot of people would love to see Collab between yourself and ICP.
Tantos años escuchando esta canción y sigue siendo mi favorita de TCID. Todavía me da muchísima risa, incluso mi mamá ama esta canción y ella ni siquiera está metida en el Steampunk. Gracias por existir 😭😭😭😭💖💖💖💖
You guyz are literally the best I love your songs...
That one dislike is the Cunning Casanova
Kirpi Two cassanovas got sassy about the song
Make it 5.
Honestly aside from Burn it Down and Steam Engine Viewfinder, this is my #1 Favorite from you guys. Lovin it!
So your third favorite
Awesome! I love when new songs come out! This is another great one to add to the list.
Im in love with your music
Cool... very "Tom Waits"- esque.
Had a friend say this sounds like a Muppets song when I played this in front of them
First song I've heard the insult "Sess Pool" in
I absolutely love this song !It's Cheerful with also a dark and sneaky not !🤩🤩🤩And the lyrics are so exciting.There is always a cunning Casanova....Personally I connect them with Barney Stinson from HIMYM !It's like is it written for him ...😂😂😂
Last time I was this early you were just releasing Clockwork Carnival :D
When the song has your name in it omf
Another brilliant piece!
Love your stuff!
Wow why didn't I know such a cool song exists?
I listen to this song alot more than I probably should
Hahahaa! Where on earth do you get all these great ideas?
I love this song!! 🤣
Ha ha ha ha ha ha!!
Locked inside a room and facing every ex!
GO KATIE! #GIRLPOWER
This song reminds me of the Spy from Team Fortress 2. I love it! Your songs are awesome.
YESS !
really cool song,
Great song!
it kinda sounds like mr.krub is singing it:-D
Does they sing about Barney from "How I met your mother"?
♥️
Get your 20 WIS score, now, folks!
💖
did sprocket go tom waits vocaly on this one on purpose?
Sugamoto Magasaki The influences on the vocals were a few different gravely singers, and Tom Waits was definitely one of them!
aye figures , what i love a lot on TCID is the versatility in genres cause i ve seen u do western, tango(Danger on the dance floor), swing (Burn it down, Never gonna get away), zydeco (da gumbo song), sailor shanty ( ahem stuart the sailor) ska...up to some very latin influences on the horns etc on Blood Sweet and Tears, or Walking Taco and then this ;)
Wow, The start sounded a bit like tom waits lol *Just a bit*
😍😍
👍👍👍😆
Am I the only one who imagines an orc from World of Warcraft singing this song?
Now I cant imagine anything but that!
I can see one from LOTR SoW singing this, or someone from Dishonored.
...To clarify, was this man a rapist, or am I misunderstanding this?
No, he was a con man. He would look for women to steal from and pretend that he was in love with them and get them to marry him. Then he would live off of whatever savings or money they had, and when he had spent all of her money he would leave her and travel to another town to find another woman he could swindle. It's inspired by a true story known as the Sweetheart Swindler.

Ohh, ok got it. That makes this song significantly less dark. It also makes that line about him being in a cell with all his exs make a lot more sense. Thank you.
