Boiled in Lead - The Fair Lady lyrics

She opens up her arms to you awaiting your embrace.

What is your desire? Fame, or love, or gold?

It's there in her hand, my friend

But answer if you can, my friend

What are you reaching out to hold?

CHORUS

Beasts and demons laugh and yell,

The lonely midwife sings

They dance about like puppets

But the Lady works their strings

Through a door that leads to a fire blazing red

Where she makes no distinctions 'tween the living and the dead.

She can find your secret madness, she knows your secret name;

What demons do you hide, my friend?

What creatures lurk inside, my friend?

To her, you know, it's really all the same.

CHORUS

All your hungers there to sate, all your thirsts to slake

Look what you've been given, you can't see what she'll take.

Who can ever know her heart, who will ever tell?

No one will believe, my friend

All that you'll receive, my friend

Before she locks you in your private Hell.

CHORUS (2x
