[Intro] All the children testified that Miss Macbeth had a fish bone slide In her cobweb tresses Her eyes were black as first foot coal Clutched as white as chalkdust Her fingers sweated Indiaink and poisonpen letters There is a hungry hanging tree just below your bedroom window You can hear her take a broom to beat out a tattoo on the ceiling Her bloodless face ran red inside but was she really evil? Was she only pantomime? [Verse 1] Now the chalk on the wall says that somebody saves That somebodys face has just been washed off the pavement Into a puzzle where petrol will be poisoned by rain Miss Macbeth saw her reflection As confetti bled its colors down the drain [Chorus 1] And everyday she lives out another love song Its a tearful lament of somebody done wrong Well how can you miss what youve never possessed Miss Macbeth [Verse 2] Well we all should have known when the children paraded They portrayed her in their fairytales sprinkling deadly nightshade And as they tormented her, she rose to the bait Even a scapegoat must have someone to hate [Chorus 2] And everyday she lives out another love song Youre up there enjoying yourself, and I know its wrong Well how can you miss what youve never possessed Miss Macbeth, Miss Macbeth [Bridge] Sometimes people are just what they appear to be With no redemption at all We try to walk upright when we cant even crawl [Verse 3] Miss Macbeth has a golliwog she chucks under the chin And she whispers to it tenderly then sticks it on a pin And It might be coincidence, but a boy down the lane That she said went white as he could do Then doubled over in pain [Chorus 1] And everyday she lives out another love song Its a tearful lament of somebody done wrong Well how can you miss what youve never possessed Miss Macbeth, Miss Macbeth Miss Macbeth, Miss Macbeth
