Don't Mess With the Fae (clean)
Words and music by Edric McKinney © 14 Jan 2026

When the days grow light Before solstice night And the Otherworld spirits draw near You can keep your brain Dodge an early grave If my simple advice you will hear If a victim of aes sidhe Is something that you want to be You can disobey, go your own damn way But don’t mess with the fae You may hear an odd sound While you’re homeward bound But to follow it blindly is wrong And the lantern light that you see at night Will lead you knee deep in a bog (That’s better than my job) If a victim of aes sidhe Is something that you want to be You can disobey, go your own damn way But don’t mess with the fae When the spirits sing Dance a fairy ring Don’t join them and think that you’re brave You’ll forever dance In a mushroom trance Lost in their supernatural rave (Party on dudes) If a victim of aes sidhe Is something that you want to be You can disobey, go your own damn way But don’t mess with the fae You can curse the fae Kick an ancient grave If you feel like a bit of a brat Their spite you’ll earn And your luck will turn Fairy punishment runs tit for tat (I might be into that) If a victim of aes sidhe Is something that you want to be You can disobey, go your own damn way But don’t mess with the fae (Unless you want to) Don’t mess with the fae (I really want to) Don’t mess with the fae (You can’t make me) Don’t mess with the fae
