[Verse 1]
I met a lady down in Prathertown, two rocking chairs
She said, "Take a seat, boy, and I'll treat you fair"
Snake charmers, cold infidels, get a running start
Pick up the pieces in the graveyard and unbury my heart

[Pre-Chorus]
The wolf howls at midnight, the rooster at the dawn
Opossum minister, where you been so long?

[Verse 2]
Montgomery Village kids, you just look like the type
You sure you want to know the mysteries? You’re but a trifling height

[Pre-Chorus]
Families in their den, staring at the box
Opossum minister, hen done killed the fox

[Chorus 1]
Eyes like clouds
Know you stare
Count the minutes by
The rocking of chairs

[Chorus 2]
Prathertown unincorporated
May you stay far unrelated
To the wicked ways of Montgomery Village
There's a darkness deep in their eyes
As if the sun don't rise
Those poor afflicted people of Montgomery Village
[Verse 3]
Fake farmers, straight jezebels, you know the score
Pick up the pieces in the graveyard and leave 'em at the door

[Pre-Chorus]
The master plan unfolds, silent sinister
Is there any hope left, opossum minister?

[Chorus]
Eyes like clouds
Know you stare
Count the minutes by
The rocking of chairs

[Chorus 2]
Prathertown unincorporated
May you stay far unrelated
To the wicked ways of Montgomery Village
There's a darkness deep in their eyes
As if the sun don't rise
Those poor afflicted people of Montgomery Village
Prathertown unincorporated
May you stay far unrelated
To the wicked ways of Montgomery Village
There's a darkness deep in their eyes
As if the sun don't rise
Those poor afflicted people of Montgomery Village
