Rate Moribund The Burgermeister
Artist : Peter gabriel Song : Moribund the burgermeister 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.
