PETER GABRIEL lyrics : "Moribund The Burgermeister"

Caught 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 going daft? Better seal off the castle
grounds

"This is Moribund, the Burgermeister, I'm going to keep
this monster down,
Somebody sent the subversive element; going to chase it out of

town."
No-one will tell what all this is about
But I will find out.


This thing's 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 about
But I will find out

I will.
