Lyrics

Caught the chaos in the market square I don't know what I don't know why But something's wrong down there Their bodies twistin' and turnin' in a thousand ways The eyes all rollin' 'round, and 'round into a distant gaze Ah, look at that crowd! Some are jumping up in the air Say "We're drowning in a torrent of blood!" Others going down on their knees Seen a saviour come out of the mud Oh, Mother! It's eating out my soul Destroying law and order, I'm gonna lose control What can I do to stop this plague Spread by sight alone Just a glimpse and then a quiver Then they shiver to the bone Ah, look at them go! Bunderschaft, you are going daft? Better seal off the castle grounds "This is Moribund the Burgermeister I gotta keep the monster down Somebody sent the subversive element Going to chase it out of town!" No one will tell what all this is about (But I will find out) (I will find out) (I will find out) This thing's outrageous I tell you on the level It's really so contagious Must be the work of the devil You better go now, pick up the pipers And tell them to play Seems the music keeps them quiet There is no other way Ah, close the doors! "We've tried potions and waxen dolls But none of us could find any cures," Mother, please Is it just a disease Has them breaking all my laws? Check if you can disconnect the effect And I'll go after the cause No one will tell what all this is about (But I will find out) (I will find out) (I will find out) (Mother, you know your son And I say I will I will They'll be sorry I'll make sure they're sorry Make sure they're...)
