[Instrumental Intro]
[Chorus]
Strange brew
Kill what's inside of you
[Verse 1]
She's a witch of trouble in electric blue
In her own mad mind she's in love with you
With you
Now, what you gonna do?
[Chorus]
Strange brew
Kill what's inside of you
[Verse 2]

If you don't watch out it'll stick to you
To you
What kind of fool are you?
[Chorus]
Strange brew
Kill what's inside of you
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
On a boat in the middle of a raging sea
She would make a scene for it all to be
Ignored
And wouldn't you be bored?
[Chorus]
Strange brew
Kill what's inside of you
[Bridge]
Strange brew
Strange brew
Strange brew
Strange brew
[Chorus]
Strange brew
Kill what's inside of you
