Sufjan Stevens - Lady Macbeth In Chains lyrics

[Verse 1] Open on Broadway, you're a star Just an opportunist at heart Evil hid in glitz and glamour Drunk like a potion harvester [Pre-Chorus] All About Eve, cat up a tree Margo Channing, listen to me Don't believe what she says When she sleeps in your head [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Pre-Chorus] All About Evе, queen tragedy All that you need is a throne to recеive Now go sleep in the bed That you made while she bled from her open wounds [Chorus] 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
