Witches 03:04
WITCHES When shall we three meet again? In thunder, lightning, in the rain? Through the mists we'll weave and wind With potions strong and spells to bind We'll seek you out We know your name! We'll lure you out To join our game! 'Cos we're the witches We're the witches We're the witches With the spell of love. Twig of ivy, blade of corn Scent of garlic, crown of thorn Howling jackal, carrion bone Crush them all beneath the stone We'll seek you out We know your name! We'll lure you out To join our game! 'Cos we're the witches We're the witches We're the witches With the spell of love. Love! You cannot hide! You won't say no! You'll come to us when we say so! 'Cos we're the witches We're the witches We're the witches With the spell of love.

THE FINAL WINTER Oooooh! The long and freezing twilight time has come A silent lightning rips the clouds undone Lumps of raining ash gray rule the ground The air is heavy, breathing not a sound Turn clock turn back Turn clock turn back Now Dream of harvest tractors in the corn The upright sunlight walks the ground so warm The smell of berries stewing on the stove Dreams and hopes of good times long ago Turn clock turn back Turn clock turn back Now Oooooh! Dinosaurs may raise their bones and talk When winter fell and cut their time off short The stones the ancients placed in mystic lines Are all that's left of life and times! Turn clock turn back Turn clock turn back Now The final winter, the final winter is here The final winter, the final winter is here The final winter, the final winter Turn clock turn back Turn clock turn back Now

THE TOUCH OF A WOMAN I want you now and I need you too What am I to do? Experience counts in small amounts This whole thing is so new The touch of a woman The touch of a woman is suicide Hard to find Give me some love of a different kind! Give me some love Give you gonna give you Give me some love Of a different kind I should be home as it is so late Why don't I just go? Dangerous glance, one slow dance No-one will ever know... The touch of a woman The touch of a woman is suicide Hard to find Give me some love of a different kind! Give me some love Give you gonna give you Give me some love Of a different kind.

WHEN THE COMET COMES There's a mystic biker gonna ride out tonight 'Cos he's got to discover the Energy An entropic poet going out of his mind 'Cos he's drunk all the time on the Energy You've got to see it, oh you've got to see it Gather on the moors and look up high Waiting for a sign across the sky Will the comet come? Mysterious traveller, this is the day Issue a summons to take us away Take us away There's a mental researcher in the grip of his pain And he talks all the time about Energy There's an artist who turned into a government man He suppresses the call of the Energy You've got to see it, oh you've got to see it Gather on the moors and look up high Waiting for a sign across the sky Will the comet come? Mysterious traveller, this is the day Issue a summons to take us away Take us away Heat! Ice! When the cold of the ice meets the heat of the sun And the particles turn into Energy Then the cold of your heart may be warmed by the sun And I want to be one with the Energy You've got to see it, oh you've got to see it Gather on the moors and look up high Waiting for a sign across the sky Will the comet come? Mysterious traveller, this is the day Issue a summons Take us away

LADY RADIATION She can keep the night lights burning She’s a nova future in flame She can keep the flywheels turning She’s a blast of power contained She’s supercharged She’s hot, Superheated Do you crave her infinite touch? When you reach her core you’ll be wasted Even half-life proving too much She can see through you She’s got X-ray vision She can see through you She’s got irradiant eyes She can cut through you … right through you With a laugh of derision and laser precision She can cut you down Lady Radia …. She’s gonna burn you up with radiation Lady Radia …. She’s gonna burn you up with radiation She draws you in attraction to strangeness Knows the way to radiate charm She decays and lives for the changes And you can pray she’ll do you no harm She can see through you She’s got X-ray vision She can see through you She’s got irradiant eyes She can cut through you …. right through you With a laugh of derision and laser precision She can cut you down! Lady Radia …. She’s gonna burn you up with radiation Lady Radia …. She’s gonna burn you up with radiation Radiation! She can see through you …. She’s got X-ray vision She can see through you She’s got irradiant eyes She can cut through you With a laugh of derision and laser precision She can cut you down! Melt down She’s supercharged She’s hot, Superheated Do you crave her infinite touch? When you reach her core you’ll be wasted Even half-life proving too much She can see through you She’s got X-ray vision She can see through you She’s got irradiant eyes She can cut through you … right through you With a laugh of derision and laser precision She can cut you down! Lady Radia …. She’s gonna burn you up with radiation Lady Radia …. She’s gonna burn you up with radiation Radiation! Radiation!
