[Intro: Kyle Falconer]

Witches work only with magic


[Chorus]

Witches work only with magic

And waiting on adulthood's tragic

Pull the cover over one more time

Stab us in the back, your trademark crime

It's never fine


[Verse 1]

An' scratch your fingernails right down the blackboard

Abuse your manicure, why don't you?

Woah-oh

And paperclips can bend and shape my dear 'cause they are cheaply manufactured

Just like you, woah-oh


[Chorus]

(A big bar of chocolate)

Witches work only with magic

And waiting on adulthoods tragic

You can turn me into stone

'Cause a worthless snake sits in her throne

All on her own

Witches work only with magic

And waiting on adulthoods tragic

Don't come 'round lookin' for me

'Cause I'm twеnty-two in nintenty-three

Oh, can't you see

You won't get me

You won't gеt me


[Verse 2]

So don't you try to scare me so

With your purple eyes and square toes

My mother warned me about you, you're not as bad as you look

And I found you in a book


[Chorus]

(Snakes like little boys)

And witches work only with magic

And waiting on adulthoods tragic

Pull the cover over one more time

Stab us in the back, your trademark crime

It's never fine

So, witches work only with magic

And being born sometimes is tragic

And if you're livin' in witches lane

You only have your parents to blame

Stay away, stay away from me (Hey)
