Salem

Saturday midnight

At midnight that same night, the Lafayettes were sleeping

At midnight that same night, there is a shadow creeping

Salem is moving without a sound

Salem is moving... moving, moving to the burial ground

So hot and so quiet, only the leaves are shaking

By one of the graves, Doctor Le Croix is waiting

Salem is moving without a sound

Salem is moving... moving, moving to the burial ground

Doctor Le Croix, shaking the hand of Salem

"My my my my my God, Salem tell me the secret

My my my my my God, this makes me feel uneasy"

In shock... Le Croix is terrified, this could be the end

Fear turns to hate, "Great Wanga will befall the Lafayettes

Salem, help me, save us... Salem, help me, save us

By turning them to dust

So take this money and off you go

To Madame Sarita's Boutique of Voodoo

A snake curse and a little "Goofer Dust"

You Salem will be the link between them and us

This could be an easy way to turn the Lafayettes to dead"

Solo: Andy

Two hours later, Salem leaves Madame Sarita

My my my my my God, Salem is looking scary

My my my my my God, now he's heading for the cemetery

Solo: Herb

Kneeling in front of one of the graves

A handful of soil and Salem is on his way

He must leave a copper penny as payment for the soil

And to protect himself

From all the spirits that could come and dig themselves

lnto his head... Dead... Dead... Dead... Salem is here

By the house, in the dark, there is a shadow digging

The snake in the bottle, is buried and it's ready

Salem is moving without a sound

Everyone's sleeping, but me 'cause I don't need it... No
