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

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 deady
Wrapped in sugar candy
