lyrics

I have a notion
Wild speculation
About those kids in the cul-de-sac
Well how they could draw
In perfect chalk
Such dread marks of hex and witchcraft

Though they might seem young
To speak in tongues
No observer can deny
An overtly evil eye

Wild-eyed and crazed
Slightly deranged
The neighbourhood watch is under attack
Now there's a fifth column
Some weird kid called Warren
It seems they all now dress in black

This is all by-the-by
Just in case you hear that I've died

That my neighbourhood kids are possessed
Is the only explanation left
I’ve ample proof to apprehend
And bring this reign of terror
To an end

Even if their whole schtick is angelic
Don't you buy it
