Coil - Copacaballa lyrics

By the pricking of your thumbs Something wicked this way comes By the pricking of your thumbs Something wicked this way comes I am the most accomplished surgeon Of moral deformities I am professor of energy Napoleonic electrifier of souls Your glorious palaces are hospitals Set amid cemeteries There's an outsider inside Where no one can hide There's an outsider inside Where no one can hide I am the most accomplished surgeon Of moral deformities I am professor of energy Napoleonic electrifier of souls I am an eternal vessel for forces that nestle For forces that sleep in the minds of the weak And even as you've been 'thout your nightly dreams Explained it all from your giant books Not even as you've been 'thout your nightly dreams Explained it all to me from your giant books You made me feel I would never be alone You knelt me down To kiss the bones on your throne The angles small Or still in their moorings Of Leviathan distortions Casting out Casting out your nets of darkness Casting out I'm casting you out [repeated] Smear thyself with the vixen's tan And beware the bloody steps of man Smear thyself with the vixen's tan And beware the bloody steps of man I want to be a stranger Become a shape changer Your glorious palaces are hospitals Set amid cemeteries [repeated] I'm trying to strip the silence away High up there with thy hiss That's where all the magic is High up there with thy hiss That's where all the magic is
