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.
