Lyrics The Fool & The Scorpion - Sharon Corr

A dirty sky hovers over me
Fall into a sullen aching, don't go there
Hard and icy droplets fall and tear my skin
The heavens they are weeping for my babies

The fool and the scorpion
Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned
The fool and the scorpion
May you choke on the tears of a mother's love

Cruising from vine to vine
Sucking on the blood of the marriage rights
Playing mummies and daddies with my babies
There's something sick inside and there's no cure for you
And I will leave you to bleed out and dry to a dusty used-to-be

The fool and the scorpion
Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned
The fool and the scorpion
May you choke on the tears of a mother's love

You'll get your just desserts
Served cold on the grave of my tenderness
The arms that you flew to they will sting you to death

I bet the bed was fire and that you came all day
But now your heart is wretched, and your soul took a beating

The fool and the scorpion
Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned
The fool and the scorpion
May you choke on the tears of a mother's love

The fool and the scorpion
The queen's twisted sister, a chameleon
The fool and the scorpion
I am free, I am free, I have been reborn
