Witches Lyrics by The View

Bread and Circuses

2011

[Intro: Kyle Falconer]
Witches work only with magic

[Chorus]
Witches work only with magic
And waiting on adulthood's tragic
Pull the cover over one more time
Stab us in the back, your trademark crime
It's never fine

[Verse 1]
An' scratch your fingernails right down the blackboard
Abuse your manicure, why don't you?
Woah-oh
And paperclips can bend and shape my dear 'cause they are cheaply manufactured
Just like you, woah-oh

[Chorus]
(A big bar of chocolate)
Witches work only with magic
And waiting on adulthoods tragic
You can turn me into stone
'Cause a worthless snake sits in her throne
All on her own
Witches work only with magic
And waiting on adulthoods tragic
Don't come 'round lookin' for me
'Cause I'm twеnty-two in nintenty-three
Oh, can't you see
You won't get me
You won't gеt me

[Verse 2]
So don't you try to scare me so
With your purple eyes and square toes
My mother warned me about you, you're not as bad as you look
And I found you in a book

[Chorus]
(Snakes like little boys)
And witches work only with magic
And waiting on adulthoods tragic
Pull the cover over one more time
Stab us in the back, your trademark crime
It's never fine
So, witches work only with magic
And being born sometimes is tragic
And if you're livin' in witches lane
You only have your parents to blame
Stay away, stay away from me (Hey)
