lyrics

Hale Wale
Far Gar
Boat Cote
Nine Pine
Tell your future:
Ha ha ha ha ha!

You’ve got murder in your heart
And that’s where we can start
It’s really not that hard
To activate

Where have you been
I killed some pigs
I wanted nuts
I won’t be cussed
I gave him heck
I sank their ship
I got his thumb
Huh huh huh huh huh huh hum

It’s so easy to make them go crazy
So fun to watch them go to town
So much fun to watch them mow each other down
I told the audience I had a magic glove
They didn’t even know it was unplugged
And that laugh was the last laugh of all

Double, Double Toil and Trouble
Into the Fiery Cauldron go...

Ditch drab
Stones to move
Yellow cab
Trees to speak
Frog toe
Auguries
Dog roe
Understood relations
Bag pipes
Maggot-pies
Rancid tripe
What’s the night?
Choo choo truck
Which is which?
Flying fuck
At odds with morning
Dark pearl
How dare MacDuff
Strangled girl
Deny his person
Shark maw
For mine own good
Fetus paw
All cause shall give way
Hemlock
I am in blood
Small pox
Steeped so far that
Bogeyman
Returning dull
Distant land
As to go over
Sew your eyes shut
Strange things in my head…..
Bear false witness
Take the money
Must be acted ere they’re scanned……
Throw a stone
Snake shell
Season reason
Gates of hell
Come to bed
Snake shell
Make it hard now
Gates of hell!
Go to sleep

Blood will have blood
Stone and shadow
Stain and Candle,
Hee hee hee hee hee!

If I’d stayed among the living
I’d suckle my familiar
I’d ride in on a skillet
And scramble a projection

I’ll pour your soul
In a bloody hole
I’ll serve you eggs
You will lap up the things
When you’ve had enough
You’ll continue to suck
When you’re all out of luck
We’ll be even then
Come, Graymalkin
Come on, Graymalkin
Keep it up, Graymalkin!
