"Witch" lyrics

Going along our usual path
My love and I on an ordinary day
Suddenly before me I see a person turn
I begin to pray

She stares me in the eye so bold
She sees him. Then she makes her pitch
I feel the air become bone cold
In the light of other ages is the witch

What witch hit this switch
Striking him down not only once but twice?
Life divides into two sides
Before and after with a terrible price

What witch sent this glitch
Into the brain? A cranial surprise
Struck down, his stuttering frown
She's hitting him twice as he tries again to rise

What fate decreed this state
Of blunt and shocked despair?
You mute the man
Because you can
Leaving everybody all stunned and standing there

She points the wand
Cuts the bond
Suddenly speech is a show of absurdity
Hand-to-hand
He's fighting to stand
We're living in a state of a permanent emergency

Some attention paid

A doctor

It's there now

A doctor

Emergency

You are so close to all the action

What witch sent this glitch
Into the brain? A cranial surprise
Struck down
His stuttering frown
She's hitting him twice as he tries again to rise

What fate decreed this state
Of blunt and shocked despair?
You mute the man
Because you can
Leaving everybody all stunned and standing there

What witch hit this switch
Striking him down not only once but twice?

Life divides into two sides
Before and after with a terrible price

Emergency
