I met a sketchy little woman and she walked a crooked line
She took a page from the bible turnin water into wine
She talked about a spirit said she had a crystal ball
Even spoke with the devil made a telephone call
With her hocus pocus oil and brews
Everything she id was frontpage news
The people all came on a saturday night, we'll run her outa town and if she puts up a fight
Then we'll burn the house down, burn the house down, burn the house down and throw away the key
So the bishop takes his queen across a checkboard square
Took a rose from her garden and a lock from her hair
He talked some mumbo jumbo 'bout the moon and the stars
Said he's walkin on the water when he's drivin his car
Another saturday night and the newspapers read
The holyman died he was smokin in bed
Burn the house down, burn the house down
And throw away the key
Burn the house down, burn it to the ground
And throw away the key
So when you're sleepin all alone and there's a knock on your door
And you're on your knees and prayin 'cause your life is a war
Say a hail mary as runnin out a town
And thank the lord you're living as they burn your house down
Burn the house down, burn the house down down down
And throw away the key
Burn the house down, burn it to the ground
And throw away the key
