Possessed Miss Macbeth
Well, how can you miss what you've never
And everyday, she lives out another love song
We try to walk upright when we can't even crawl
Possessed Miss Macbeth Miss Macbeth
And as they tormented her, she rose to the bait
Sometimes people are just what they appear to be
Well how can you miss what you've never
Just below your bedroom window
But was she really evil, was she only pantomime?
Even a scapegoat must have someone to hate
And everyday she lives out another love song
That she said, "Went white as he could do"
They portrayed her in their fairy tales, sprinkling deadly nightshade
Well, we all should have known when the children paraded
And it might be coincidence but a boy down the lane
That somebody's face has just been washed off the pavement
Clutched as white as chalk dust
Into a puzzle where petrol will be poisoned by rain
It's a tearful lament of somebody done wrong
Miss Macbeth saw her reflection
As confetti bled it's colors down the drain
Then doubled over in pain
Miss. Macbeth has a gollywog, she chucks under the chin
Possessed Miss Macbeth, Miss Macbeth
To beat out a tattoo on the ceiling
Now the chalk on the wall says, "That somebody saves"
And everyday she lives out another love song
And she whispers to it tenderly then sticks it on a pin
You can hear her take a broom
You're up there enjoying yourself, and I know
It's wrong well how can you miss what you've never
It's a tearful lament of somebody done wrong
With no redemption at all
Her fingers sweated India ink and poison pen letters
Her eyes were black like first foot coal
There is a hungry hanging tree
Her bloodless face ran red inside
