Burn the Witch - Queens of the Stone Age


Suggested by ~Adrelinen

Holding hands
Skipping like a stone
On our way
To see what we have done
The first to speak
Is the first to lie
The children cross
Their hearts & hope to die

Bite your tongue
Swear to keep your mouth shut

Ask yourself
Will i burn in Hell?
Then write it down
& cast it in the well
There they are
The mob it cries for blood
To twist the tale
Into fire wood
Fan the flames
With a little lie
Then turn your cheek
Until the fire dies
The skin it peels
Like the truth, away
What it was
I will never say...

Haaahh (oohhhh-oohhhh)Haaahh (oohhhh-ohhhh)

Bite your tongue, swear to keep
Keep your mouth shut
Make up something
Make up something good...

(guitar solo)

Holding hands
Skipping like a stone
Burn the witch
Burn to ash & bone
Burn the witch
Burn to ash & bone
Burn the witch
Burn to ash & bone 

(hooooooo, ooohhhhh, hooooooo, oooohhhhhhhh)

Criss-crosses of children
draw intricate patterns
on the city street

and for the moment
dreams are within reach
and with a gentle stretch of the arm

touching infinity
is infinitely possible
