Wickerman

[Verse]

Woodsman checks his blade for intricacies

And the next one will be paid by the men in high seats

But the flicker of the clipper as the wicker man shouts

There's a flame in you man and it will never be put out

As you stand there tall with your chest puffed out

The ones that you love, they are frozen with the doubt

Of the impossibility of the task ahead

Close your eyes son, you might lose your head

[Chorus]

The master and the jester

The artist and the brute

The witch, the wizard, the wicker man

The bastard and there's you

And the rumours of the ruthless list

Disperse around the room

'Cos everybody here wants to whistle to your tune (Ay!)

[Verse]

So keep your hand sharp but your tongue even sharper

You'll have to muster up all of the wits about you

To keep yourself safe in the world we live in today

We have been the masters of our own destruction

So he stands there tall does the wicker man

He'd love to stay and chat but he's got other plans

An appointment with a man who thinks that he's in charge

The wicker man exclaims, "Who do you think you are?"

[Chorus]

The master and the jester

The artist and the brute

The witch, the wizard, the wicker man

The bastard and there's you

And the rumours of the ruthless list

Send shivers through the room

'Cos everybody in it wants to whistle to your tune

[Bridge]

Na-na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na

Na-na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na

Na-na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na

Na-na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na

Na-na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na

Na-na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na

Na-na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na

Na-na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na

[Chorus]

The master and the jester

And the artist and the brute

And the witch and the wizard

And the wicker man's a-boot

But still you're stood there with your chest puffed out

But they can feel you're frozen with your doubt

[Outro]

Na-na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na

Na-na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na
