Burn the Witch

Queens of the Stone Age
2016

Holding hands
Skipping like a stone
On our way
To see what we have done
The first to speak
Is the first to lie
The children cross
Their hearts & hope to die

Bite your tongue
Swear to keep your mouth shut

Ask yourself
Will i burn in Hell?
Then write it down
& cast it in the well
There they are
The mob it cries for blood
To twist the tale
Into fore wood
Fan the flames
With a little lie
Then turn your cheek
Until the fire dies
The skin it peels
Like the truth, away
What it was
I will never say…

Bite your tongue, swear to keep
Keep your mouth shut
Make up something
Make up something good…
Holding hands
Skipping like a stone
Burn the witch
Burn to ash & bone
