[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 chalk-dust
Her fingers sweated India-ink and poison-pen 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 somebody's 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 it's colors down the drain
[Chorus 1]
And everyday she lives out another love song
It's a tearful lament of somebody done wrong
Well how can you miss what you've 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
