Electric Six - Witches Burning lyrics
[Electric Six - Witches Burning lyrics]
What does a Holocaust cost?
What does a goodbye buy?
Strange that you ask me now
A tooth for a tooth and an eye for an eye
Yes, that's how
And you would liquidate your holdings
So you can pay the piper
And the prophecy's unfolding
And you must decipher
Baby, you were recently victimized
By a 90s band
You were skyrocketing filth in the skies
It was all part of the plan
We backed the wrong horse
Because we're still learning
It couldn't be worse than the
Sounds of witches burning
But baby we can try
The recent nihilism comes into play
As we walk along eggshells
Just as we throw all our trash away
'Cause it smells
There's tons of radon in the basement
Now it lives inside my bones
Learning the ways of final placement
And their sweet guitar tones
Needles and pins crawling in my skin
As the counting down is about to begin
Knives and forks stuck in my eyes
As you read your words to the wise
Saturn brings me down when it's returning
Ain't nothing like the sounds
Of witches burning
When the church bells ring
There's no discerning
The last words that're coming
From witches burning
What does a goodbye buy?
Strange that you ask me now
A tooth for a tooth and an eye for an eye
Yes, that's how
And you would liquidate your holdings
So you can pay the piper
And the prophecy's unfolding
And you must decipher
Baby, you were recently victimized
By a 90s band
You were skyrocketing filth in the skies
It was all part of the plan
We backed the wrong horse
Because we're still learning
It couldn't be worse than the
Sounds of witches burning
But baby we can try
The recent nihilism comes into play
As we walk along eggshells
Just as we throw all our trash away
'Cause it smells
There's tons of radon in the basement
Now it lives inside my bones
Learning the ways of final placement
And their sweet guitar tones
Needles and pins crawling in my skin
As the counting down is about to begin
Knives and forks stuck in my eyes
As you read your words to the wise
Saturn brings me down when it's returning
Ain't nothing like the sounds
Of witches burning
When the church bells ring
There's no discerning
The last words that're coming
From witches burning
