full lyrics:


satchel spillin' magic mushrooms

pages torn from book of spells

for the bi-annual coven

rendezvous of ne'er do wells

pheromone madness in the ether

maleficence in the air

dames of darkness castin' shadows

dancin' circles 'round town square


off to Salem for the Solstice

hitchin' ride on hood of hearse

huntin' for a mystic maven

before raven flocks disperse

howlin' for the one I'm cravin'

before raven flocks disperse


I'm off to Salem

see you in Salem

I'm off to Salem

see you in Salem


she don't need no wand or broomstick

she can do without the warts

how she cackles not crucial

as fluency in ancient arts

conjurer of astral secrets

what's required to reverse

downward spiralin' direction

before becomes somethin' worse


off to Salem for the Solstice

to commune with universe

cast my line to catch a bruxa

who will break my star-crossed curse

cats of all colors considered

who might break my star-crossed curse


I'm off to Salem

see you in Salem

I'm off to Salem

see you in Salem


no sorceress worth her webs

falls for common Don Juan plays

gotta deal your Tarot clever

guarantee Queen of Cups lays

won't know if I'm cured 'til dawn

when nocturnals sound retreat

as daybeams through curtains undrawn

reveal true yield of trick or treat


off to Salem for the Solstice

but by séance shall return

got my pockets stuffed with smudge sticks

miles of full moon light to burn

mind a cauldron pot of mischief

miles of full moon light to burn


I'm off to Salem

see you in Salem

I'm off to Salem

see you in Salem

I'm off to Salem

see you in Salem
