Sweet sixteen and bold as love the danger I've been dreaming of Sweet sixteen and here she comes; I see the candlelight from her window. She just bought her first book of spells-- one step further from the wishing wells of childhood. She's a woman grown. I tell you, girls, if I had known, I'd do it all over exactly the same. She walked into my life and I sang Witchka! Where have you been? Tell me 'bout the trouble you've been in! Twenty-six and mad as hell, who'd'a thought that I would fall for this turned-around, pouty-lipped Tinkerbelle? One step further from the wishing well, but what's her coven gonna say? All I know, when I see her face, she makes every little fairy princess fade away. Here she comes, and I say Witchka! Where have you been? Tell me 'bout the Mischief....oh, Witchka! Book of shadows and a lock of hair, she holds me there, she does not care. Witchka! From her little pointy boots to her pouty lip, you can tell she's thinking herself the shit. Well, who am I to teach her to watch and wait? A witch decides a witch's fate. She's gonna learn the hard way--that's all right. She says she likes it hard some nights. Keep a close eye on her witchy ways. She'll surprise us all one day! Say, Witchka! Where have you been? Tell me 'bout the trouble you've been in. Witchka, my, how you have grown-- time to make this world your own! Witchka! What have you done? Everything from raising hell to having fun! Witchka! Where have you been! Tell me 'bout the mischief....oh Book of shadows and a lock of hair, she holds me there, she does not care (2x) Sweet sixteen and bold as love, the danger I've been dreaming of (2x) Witchka!

(chorus) Tyranny’s child has not broken us yet Try as she might, not a drop will she get Tyranny's tantrums have come into play striking down witches for what we don't say Oh, no On the outside we look proper and prim but we battle nobility's ill-advised whim. Shameless and shining, we always ask why, for what cooks in our cauldron could call down the sky. Best believe we fought hard when temptation arrived threatening with lions and offering bribes We'd not do her bidding and draw down the moon, though she murdered our brothers and mother for want of a spoon! * Tyranny's child has not broken us yet Try as she might, not a drop will she get! Tyranny's tantrums have come into play, striking down witches for want of a day! Oh, no. It's when we are human that you must take care and learn how to dance when there's blood on the air. The world is a dangerous place, little one, but you already know there are marvelous deeds to be done! Wicked and strong in our shining we stand, straight backed with a drop of the future to hand; it's when we are human that you must take care, but wonders will come to you, darling if only you dare! Tyranny's child has not broken us yet! Try as she might, not a drop will she get! Tyranny's towers can't topple too soon from striking down witches for want of a spoon, Oh no!

I forbid ye maidens all who let fly your lovely hair to go down to Carterhaugh for young Tam Lin is there Janet tied her kirtle green above her knee and not below and she's gone to Carterhaugh just as fast as she can go She's come to the roses growing wild she's pulled a single one when a wild young man appears and cries 'O, lady, let alone! 'How dare you pull my roses out, How dare you break my tree How dare you run in these green woods Without asking leave of me?' Says Janet fair 'this wood's my own My father gave it me And I can pluck myself a rose Without asking leave of thee.' Bold as brass, he takes her hand and color rises to her skin She looks the young man in the eye and knows him now for young Tam Lin. I forbid ye maidens all who let fly your lovely hair to go down to Carterhaugh for young Tam Lin is there Janet holds her petticoats well above her dirty knee and she's gone to her father's hall just as fast as she can hie. All the ladies of the court at their play turn red as rose except for Janet, fainting fast, green as growing grass she goes Out then speaks her father dear, doting, caring, meek and mild. 'Janet, darling daughter mine, I fear you go with child.' 'Father, if I be with child, be sure myself shall bear the blame. There's not a knight within your hall shall get the baby's name. Father, if I be with child, 'twill prove a wondrous birth for well I swear it's not the get of any mortal man on earth.' I forbid ye maidens all who let fly your lovely hair to go down to Carterhaugh for young Tam Lin is there Janet's tied her kirtle green When near nine months are gone And she's away to Carterhaugh, To speak with young Tam Lin. But young Tam Lin will not be found and Janet's in despair to the forest floor she falls and swift her lover catches her Janet asks 'Tam Lin, my love, why is it in these woods you hide?' 'The queen of faeries stole me hence, alas, when I was but a child. 'My lordly sire was a skillful man and hunting he loved well but I was prey for the Faerie Queen when from my horse I fell. 'Ever since, in yon green hill, with the Queen I'm bound to dwell I'd never tire of living there for the land of Faerie does me well 'But at the end of seven years, the queen doth pay a tithe to hell I so fair and full of flesh, am fear'd 'twill be myself.' I forbid ye maidens all who let fly your lovely hair to go down to Carterhaugh for young Tam Lin is there 'Tonight's the night of Halloween, and the fairy court will ride; And she that would her true love win at Miles Cross must bide. 'But how shall I thee ken, Tam-lin? Or how shall I thee know? Among a troupe of faerie knights, The like I never saw?' 'First let pass the horses black then let pass the brown Run ye to the milk white steed and pull that rider down. 'They will change me in your arms into a deadly adder but hold me fast and fear me not I am the baby's father 'They will change me in your arms into a bear or lion bold but hold me fast and fear me not I am the father of your child 'At last they'll change me in your arms into a naked knight. Then cast your mantle over me and keep me out of sight.' I forbid ye maidens all who let fly your lovely hair to go down to Carterhaugh for young Tam Lin is there Gloomy, gloomy, was the night, And eery was the way, As Janet in her mantle green To Miles Cross did hie. The heavens dressed in baleful black and all was silent as the grave, But Janet waited in the dark Her own true love to save. Betwixt the hour of twelve and one, the north wind blew and tore and rent she heard the elfin bridles ring upon the wind where e'er it went Janet stood, with mind unmoved, The gloomy heath upon, And louder, louder rang the bells, As the fairy court came riding on. First rode by the night black steeds and then went by the brown; then up she ran to the charger pale and pulled her lover down. They changed him in her arms to all the beasts and flames and hateful things, but she did all that her lover bade and young Tam Lin she won. Up then spoke the Faery Queen An angry queen was she. 'Woe betide the wretch who's ta'en the best knight of Our company. 'Had I but known, Tam-Lin,' she said 'What defeat this night I'd see I'd've stolen both thine eyes and changed thee fast into a tree.' 'Had I but known, Tam-lin,' she said 'before we left this night to roam, I'd have et thy heart of flesh and left thee with a heart of stone!' I forbid ye maidens all who let fly your lovely hair to go down to Carterhaugh for young Tam Lin is there Janet tied her kirtle green above her knee and not below and she's off to Carterhaugh as fast as love can go.

You'd never know that Marrow was a glowing place, beautiful, before her tarnished heart lost its way so long, so long Gone are the colors, the apples and gems each hunger answered with more Above and below she has rotted away so long, so long The great market calls from canopied stalls but a ghost town is all you will find Purses large and small gold coins changing palms gone paper and ruin and lost time Seventh sons and golden ball daughters can take their own lives to hand I have been to the city of Marrow and I have come out again. Fear not the wind of wasting its howling is not for you It's only an echo now within the hearts of those just passing through Beauty is lost in translation no savoring what is devoured I look at my lover and only see bones No one looks under the skin now. Fear not the wind of wasting its cries are not for you They're only echoes now within the hearts of those just passing through Beauty is lost in translation no savoring what is devoured No one looks under the skin anymore There's only the wind now when seventh sons and golden ball daughters take their own lives to hand fear not the city of Marrow for you will come out again I have been to the city of Marrow and I have come out again Fear not the wind of wasting Its cries are not for you They're only an echo now within the hearts of those just passing through Fear not the wind of wasting Its howling is not for you It's only an echo now within the hearts of those just passing through the hearts of those long ago passed through I have been to the city of Marrow and I have come out again.

Beware the Bleu Cheese of Redmond and the honey-mustard of gloom Be careful how you stick your fork into the Notorious Salad of Doom An army of croutons comes crunching while sinister spinach doth creep invading the heart of your luncheon and stirring your belly from sleep Tempting and colorful veggies seek only to draw you in and learning your fate, you'll find it's too late as dressing drips from your chin! iceberg lettuce will come to chill your soul don't say we didn't warn you as you blindly fill up your bowl! Oh, HEADS OF LETTUCE WILL ROLL! Ho! Dress it in flowers and clover, but it consumes you still! In leather and lace, past the bounds of good taste, this salad is dressed to kill! The popping of cherry tomatoes resounds throughout the land! Innocence lost when the salad was tossed, but Dave was just feeding the band!! Iceberg lettuce will come to chill your soul don't say we didn't warn you as you blithely fill up your bowl, oh, heads of lettuce will roll! Oh, Health nuts, seek other nutrition! Vegans, best run from the room! Be careful how you stick your fork into the Notorious Salad of Doom Woe to the grazers of green things, whose stomachs will growl all too soon! We'll lose all we love in the tastiness of The Notorious Salad of Doom

Look long enough into the eyes of any creature, there's no knowing what you'll find. We all seek the light one way or another, mostly flying blind. Everything flies at the mercy of the moonlight, lovers more than most at times. You've sought the light where few have ever found it, captured deep in tawny eyes. Little one seek and ye shall find. Take care what you find in the tawny eyes of a hunter by night. Who, who, who is it dares to find these feathers, stroke this skin? How, how, how can you dream of the night he spreads his wings to hold you, shows you all he knows and lets you in? I've heard it said none but fools will ever count on shifting shapes and flying dreams. Foolish the heart that lights upon a love who's never what he seems: Shows one face at dawn and another in the twilight, kings have worn his shape before (kings have worn his wings before). Lord of the evening, so handsome in the sunlight, leaves you wanting so much more. Child, death is a dance on the forest floor! Who, who, who is it dares to find these feathers, stroke this hide? Why, why, why set your sights on the night he spreads his wings to hold you, shows you all his heart and bids you fly? shifting shapes and flying dreams love is never what it seems wears another skin by day be his love and not his prey Who, who, who is it dares to seek the sun and still want more? How, how, how can you trust that he'll open up his wings to hold you, leave you brighter than you were before?
