The Mistress Witch from McClure (Or, The Mind That Knows Itself)

[Verse 1]
And the winter moves about Illinois
When my sister picks a fight with the Alexander boy
And my father locks the car by the store
Still, we figure out the keys and follow him once more

[Chorus]
Oh my God, we see it on the floor
The woman on the bed, the ankle brace she wore
Stones and sled, it could have been some other
The mind that knows itself has a mind to serve the other
But we run back, scratching at the door
Scratching at the door

[Verse 2]
If I'm hiding in the sleeves of my coat
When my father runs undressed, he's pointing at my throat
And my brother has a fit in the snow
And the traffic stops for miles, we take him by the elbow

[Chorus 2]
Oh my God (oh my God), the shuffling at the floor (no one came)
A mind that knows itself (to our side) is a mind that knows much more (to carry us away from danger)
So we run back (oh my God), scrambling for cover (no one came)
A mind that knows (to our side) itself has a mind to kill the other (to carry us away from danger)

[Outro]
Oh my God
You left us now for dead
You left us now for dead
