Lady Macbeth Lyrics

Lady Macbeth lyrics

(John Lees)

 like a jester dressed
 in a silly gown
 something evil came to town
 at the darkest hour
 in the dead of night
 all who'd listen gathered round
 from the uninspired
 from the tortured sounds
 no one noticed, what she'd done
 by the pricking of my thumbs
 something wicked
 this way comes

 like a fool possessed
 evil grabbed the blade
 dripping blood upon the keys
 with her cheap disguise
 no one realised
 how this jester, could deceive
 from the uninspired
 from the tortured sounds
 no one noticed, what she'd done
 by the pricking of my thumbs
 something wicked
 this way comes
 this way comes
 this way comes

 from the uninspired
 from the tortured sounds
 no one noticed, what she'd done
 time knows the truth
 and her lies linger on
 by the pricking of my thumbs
 something wicked
 this way comes
 by the pricking of my thumbs
 something wicked
 this way comes
 this way comes
 this way comes

 hush now children
 don't you worry
 lots of young ones
 singing mahler
 lies so deadly wrapped in sugar candy
