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?


"Diabolical Streak" is Jill Tracy's first studio album featuring her fearsome backing ensemble The Malcontent Orchestra.

With nothing but a sultry whisper campaign since its 1999 release, "Diabolical Streak" has become a cult smash being featured on CBS, NBC, PBS, and numerous independent and feature films, and earning the SIBL international grand prize for songwriting.
Canada's Shift Magazine hailed "Diabolical Streak" one of the Top 10 neo-cabaret albums of all time."

Jill Tracy's acclaimed music video "The Fine Art of Poisoning" (a collaboration with animator Bill Domonkos) has won over 30 film festival awards internationally.
