lyrics

THERE’S A CREATURE RUNNING ROUND THE GLOOM
Y’ALL CAN’T SEE IT BUT I CAN FEEL IT
AND IT FLITS FROM ROOM TO ROOM
CASUALLY TREATING THIS HOUSE LIKE IT OWNS IT

THIS IS THE STORY OF A GIRL
A GIRL WHO FLEW FROM THIS WORLD
ON THE FENDER OF A WITCH
A TOO BAD HARD LUCK DON’T STOP DRIVE AWAY

THERE’S A STRANGE SOUND BUZZING IN MY HEAD
LIKE A DRAGONFLY INTICING ME TO CATCH IT
AND IT KEEPS ME FROM MY SLEEP
UNTIL I FIND THE CHORDS AND THE MELODY TO MATCH IT

THIS IS THE STORY OF A GIRL
A GIRL WHO FLEW FROM THIS WORLD
ON THE FENDER OF A WITCH
A TOO BAD HARD LUCK DON’T STOP DRIVE AWAY

MET THIS OLD GIRL SHE WAS FAMOUS
KEEPS ME SANE IN MY CLASSES
I DON’T FEEL COLD DON’T NEED A COAT
I CAN’T SEE A THING DON’T NEED MY GLASSES

THIS IS THE STORY OF A GIRL
A GIRL WHO FLEW FROM THIS WORLD
ON THE FENDER OF A WITCH
A TOO BAD HARD LUCK DON’T STOP
I’M TOO BUSY SO SORRY CAN’T STOP
A TOO BAD HARD LUCK CAN’T STOP
DRIVE AWAY
WITCH
