[Intro]
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

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Bridge]
What fate decreed this state
Of blunt and shocked despair?
You mute the man because you can
Leaving everybody all stunned and standing there
[Verse 3]
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

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
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

[Verse 1]
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
