The fever causes my dreams
The dreams cause my fever
Keziah Mason does not sleep
She brings the violet light

The walls are filled with vermin
One of them wears a human face
They call it Brown Jenkins
But I call it nightmare

*chorus*
Where were you tonight?
You were not sleeping in your bed
I heard some noises, I was scared
Sleepwalking in your head

I signed the Black Man's book
But I did not understand it
I thought it was a dream
And now the baby's dead

The fever causes my dreams
The dreams cause my fever
It's the building, it's this town
There's no dreaming in the Witch House

*chorus*

The walls are filled with vermin
One of them wears a human face
They call it Brown Jenkins
But I call it nightmare

The fever causes my dreams
The dreams cause my fever
It's the building, it's this town
There's no dreaming in the Witch House

*chorus*
