The Mistress Witch From Mcclure (or, The Mind That Knows Itself) Lyrics

The Mistress Witch From Mcclure (or, The Mind That Knows Itself) lyrics

And the winter moves about Illinois

When my sister picks a fight with the Alexander boy

And my father locks the car by the store

Still we figure out the keys and follow him once more



Oh my God, we see it on the floor

The woman on the bed the ankle brace she wore

Stones and sled it could have been some other

The mind that knows itself has a mind to serve the other

And we run back scratching at the door, scratching at the door



If I'm hiding in the sleeves of my coat

When my father runs undressed, he's pointing at my throat

And my brother has a fit in the snow

And the traffic stops for miles, we take him by the elbow



Oh my God, the shuffling at the floor

  (Oh my God)

A mind that knows itself is a mind that knows much more

  (No one came to our side)

So we run back, scrambling for cover

  (To carry us away from danger)

A mind that knows itself has a mind to kill the other

  (Oh my God, no one came to our side)



Oh my God, he left us now for dead

  (Oh my God)

He left us now for dead
