Mayhem, Maybe Lyrics - Jethro Tull

When we're working nights, the village 'round 

The old church becomes scary town 

All curtained windows and bolted doors 

But never an eye to see 

As us fairy folks sweep from the hill 

Never caught us and never will 

Pulling roses and daffodil 

Mayhem in the high degree 

The blacksmith chased us all to ground 

They searched all night, we were never found 

The tinker boys and the sheriff's men 

Shaking the tallest tree

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

And we sat and watched the women hide 

Laughed so much we split our sides 

Scattered horses that they would ride 

Mayhem in the high degree 

We crossed through fields of midnight green 

Often heard but seldom seen 

Tore along hedges, stripping leaves 

No one could quite agree 

Whether we came from north or south 

We stole the screams from out their mouths 

And go where no man would allow 

Mayhem in the high degree 

Like scaly carp and feathered swan 

To nature's world we do belong 

We ride the thin winds of the night 

And set dark spirits free

We terrify the mare and foal 

The fox stood still and far too bold 

So we strung him up, brush neatly folded 

Mayhem, maybe
