The Witch Of Freaktown

by @gwenthered

There is no demo for this song.

Liner Notes

EP: Obsidian (My serious angry queer EP... but this one's... different.) I don't really like giving explanations for my songs. You can figure it out.

I kinda wanna try and fuse a sort of metal with electro-swing for this one. I think it'd be a fun experiment.

DEMO COMING: Once I get to it. But I plan to.

Lyrics

(Verse 1) Walking right down the street He's come to town seeking prey Skipping along, tapping his feet Flashing smiles in the most menacing way

(Verse 2) A girl sits crying on the corner A prime target for this charmer So he puts on his best face Slides in beside her and opens up his briefcase

(Chorus) Shall we make a deal? He whispers in her ear C'mon, it's a steal You've got nothing to fear Name your dream and it's yours You know what you want, no need to have a poll Just say the word, and I can open all the doors All it will cost is your soul

(Verse 3) I want to be liked, no! loved! I'm tired of the hate What use is a soul? Surely, I couldn't be worse off with none The Dealmaker was pleased, she had taken the bait And with a click and flick of a pen, the deal was done

(Verse 4) And the years passed, and she was adored But it was empty and hollow, every smile a lie The deal was a two edged sword The love delivered down a one way street

(Pre-Chorus) And she remembered that day...

(Chorus) Shall we make a deal? He whispers in her ear C'mon, it's a steal You've got nothing to fear Name your dream and it's yours You know what you want, no need to have a poll Just say the word, and I can open all the doors All it will cost is your soul

(Bridge) The Dealmaker wasn't hard to find, he wanted it that way I want it back, return it to me, she declared A deal's a deal, but I'm feeling cheerful, so let's play I'd love to see you squirm, I'd love to see you scared...

(Chorus) So, let's make a deal Sign right here Yes, my offer is real I hope you enjoy living in fear You will be beneath the whores Outcast shall be your new role For all the love you had, equally the hate will pour And then you can have your soul ... And with a click and flick of a pen, the deal was done

Incisive storytelling and the lyrics read very musically.
