Witches Burning - Electric Six

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
