Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm traveling down to Salem
I'm a judge at a jury trial
Got to get there by morning sunrise
Got to save someone's innocent life
[Verse 2]
Open up, open up hysteria
Fear at a, at a fever pitch
Fever streets, walk don't walk
Crowded sky of ventilators
Antennas out, under the
Moving sky, moving sky
[Verse 3]
Moving road, billboards flying by
Rental cars, tubes and tires and chains
Then everything around me silently linked
Signs generating reality
[Verse 4]
Open up, open up hysteria
Fear at a, at a fever pitch
Fever streets walk don't walk
Crowded sky of ventilators
Antennas out, under the
Moving sky, moving sky
[Verse 5]
Now every surface lethal
Wipe it down and change your mood
A shapeless, creeping, growing thing
A Salem barrister's Waterloo
[Verse 6]
Open up, open up hysteria
Fear at a, at a fever pitch
Fever streets walk don't walk
Crowded sky of ventilators
Antennas out, under the
Moving sky, moving sky
[Verse 7]
Open up, open up hysteria
Fear at a, at a fever pitch
Fever streets, walk don't walk
Crowded sky of ventilators
Antennas out, under the
Moving sky, moving sky
[Verse 8]
As we sit on the sidelines
Open up hysteria
Walk don't walk
