Milk and Cookies Lyrics

Lyric discussion by happyannie 

Cover art for Milk and Cookies lyrics by Melanie Martinez

This song comes right after Tag, You're It on the Cry Baby album. The Cry Baby album is supposed to be a story about a character named Cry Baby. In Tag, You're It Cry Baby gets kidnapped by the Bad Wolf Ice Cream Man, and so in Milk and Cookies she poisons the wolf with milk and cookies and escapes. The line "Ashes, Ashes" refers to killing someone because people are often burnt when they die. It will all make a lot more sense if you watch the Tag, You're It/Milk and Cookies double feature music video.
