cotton mather - call me the witch lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
it was not his idea
to leave the city after korea
for a chinese wedding by a circus tent
all the time at the foundry
dying in between the boundaries
so he left his baby there to pay the rent

[pre-chorus]
i see him down by the crumbling seawalls
am i the only one who hears him when he calls?

[chorus]
call me the witch
here to paint the town that time forgot
throwin’ the switch
to illuminate the isle of forget-me-nots

[verse 2]
she was married to a merchant marine
who her father thought a philistine
peddling kerosene in a surplus store
on a night so clear
seeing that his vessel was near
she walked off the end of the pier, lo and behold

[pre-chorus]
she says “sister, can you tell my story?
i’m still waiting for some final glory”

[chorus]
call me the witch
here to paint the town that time forgot
throwin’ the switch
to illuminate the isle of forget-me-nots

[bridge]
and out in the rain, i saw the face of stephen crane
and he says to me, “thanks for the memories”

[verse 3]
made a vow i can never repeat
to know the shadows on madison street
they all know my name and tell me h-llo
never said i was their boss
i’m just livin’ in the land of the lost
where the last battalion tossed the coins in the row

[pre-chorus]
you can hide in your candy museum
with the mail-order bride, but the fog is comin’ in

[outro]
call me the witch
here to paint the town that time forgot
throwin’ the switch
here to illuminate the isle of forget-me-nots
call me the witch
oh, call me the witch
ah, call me the witch
