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 realized 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 deadly Wrapped in sugar candy
