Caught in the chaos in the market square

I don't know what, I don't know why, but something's wrong down there

Their bodies twistin' and turnin' in a thousand ways

The eyes all rollin' round and round into a distant gaze

Ah, look at that crowd!



Some are jumping up in the air - say "We're drowning in a torrent of blood!"

Others going down on their knees, seen a saviour coming out of the mud

Oh Mother! It's eating out my soul

Destroying law and order, I'm gonna lose control



What can I do to stop this plague, spread by sight alone

Just a glimpse and then a quiver, then they shiver to the bone

Ah, look at them go!



Bunderschaft, you are going daft? Better seal off the castle grounds

"This is Moribund, the Burgermeister, I'm gonna keep this monster down,

Somebody sent the subversive element; going to chase it out of down."

No-one will tell what all this is about

But I will find out.

(I will find out. I will find out.)



This thing's really outrageous, I tell you on the level

It's really so contagious must be the work of the devil

You better go now, pick up the pipers, tell them to play

Seems the music keeps them quiet, there is no other way.

Ah, close the doors!



"We've tried potions and waxen dolls, but none of us could find any cures,"

Mother please, is it just a disease, that has them breaking all my laws,

Check if you can disconnect the effect and I'll go after the cause

No-one will tell what this is all about

But I will find out

I will.
