lyrics

The Fine Art of Poisoning
Words and music by Jill Tracy

it's quite an elaborate scheme
the fine art of poisoning
the dose to comatose
slyly administered

not for the frail of heart
the vengeful must play their part
a friend to the bitter end
or so they say

nice and slow
misfortune will flow

peril in the nursery
it seems a tainted pastry
one bite what a dreadful fright
she was such a delicate little dish

a pleasant parlor gathering
quicksilver concealed in a ruby ring
two lumps or three
I have always adored bergamot tea

nice and slow
misfortune will flow

but who will know?

about

Jill Tracy will transport you into a seductive and magical realm far beyond the Everyday. The place where we wished we ... more lived. A dark, elegant netherworld full of hidden passageways, wonder cabinets, and opium dens. Of monsters, marvels and mayhem. You know it’s not safe here; but with Jill Tracy as your guide, you’ll be in no hurry to leave. less
