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!"
ย
Others going down on their knees
Seen a saviour come out of the mud
ย
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
ย
"This is Moribund the Burgermeister
I gotta keep the monster down
Somebody sent the subversive element
Going to chase it out of town!"
ย
No one will tell what all this is about
(But I will find out)
(I will find out)
(I will find out)
ย
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,"
ย
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
ย
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...)
