Witch

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

Suddenly speech is a show of absurdity

Living in a state of a permanent emergency

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
