Mystery Walk

This black book scares the hell out of me
And spreads it all across the room
It leaves a trail of shells and shall-nots
Until I'm frozen to the boon

And I'm shaking like pieces of silver
As the bats turn off the light
The minister tells me my future's on stake
But I'm wearing my crosses badly tonight

All his phrases keep running backwards
All his demons are in my head
He pins me down with voodoo words
And there's a rush where I would fear to tread

My fire's no need for his holy water
Far above us the great bats flutter
Now I'm certain it's time to walk on
Over the rainbow and into the gutter
