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
