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

[Verse A-2] (2:30-)

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!


[Chorus B-2] (2:55-)

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

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

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