On top of old smoky

the witch doctor

he told what to do

he said

let’s do the monster mash

let’s get physical

physical

he was a magic man

with endless love

of my Bette Davis eyes

he spun me round round

baby round round

just like a prayer

like an Englishman in New York
until a careless whisper

let me go crazy on you

and

that witchcraft

that wicked witchcraft

left my heart in San Francisco

partying like it was 1999

and

wow it was unbelievable

this sensual world

a piano in the dark

a hot child in the city

a mystery girl

with mysterious ways

nothing else matters

cause I’m a bitch

blessed with an enemy

I wear my armor

looking for my muse in this madness

Prometheus with fire

Hecate at the crossroads

and

the power of love

staves off the ways the world will end

though it’s too late to be saved

even in Atlanta

so the world and I

the beauty and the beast

interchangeable

we don’t fear the reaper

let’s dance

like the different

until it’s time to sleep
