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 pokus oil and brews Everything she ID was front page news The people all came on a Saturday night We'll run her out of 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 check board square Took a rose from her garden And a lock from her hair He talked some mambo jumbo 'Bout the moon and stars Said he's walkin' on the water When he's drivin' his car Another Saturday night And the newspapers read The holy man 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 into 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 prayin' 'Cause your like is a war Say a Hail Mary as runnin' out of 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
