Lady Macbeth In Chains

Lyrics

Open on Broadway, you're a star
 Just an opportunist at heart
 Evil hid in glitz and glamour
 Drunk like a potion harvester
 All about Eve, cat up a tree
 Margo Channing, listen to me
 Don't believe what she says
 When she sleeps in your head
 Now the two allegories of pity and terror
 One for the money, for trial and error
 Telling the story, anointing its pleasure
 Lady Macbeth in chains
 
 ♪
 Once in a lifetime, you're a star
 A circus of light falling apart
 Just as the flame is on the reservoir
 The darkness arises so much brighter
 All about Eve, queen tragedy
 All that you need is a throne to receive
 Now, go sleep in the bed
 That you made while she bled
 From her open wounds
 Two categories tell two different stories
 One for ambition, and one full of glory
 Backstabbing feeds on its own inventory
 Lady Macbeth in chains
 Lady Macbeth in chains
