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
