Lyrics
This is my house.
This was my house.
Although I died several years ago,
This is my house.
This is my house.
You came here like a thief in the night
With your wife and kiddies gathered round.
Something tells me you had my key
Before my body was cold in the ground.
Your stupid dog knows what will happen to you
That’s why he hoooowls in the night.
You came here with your paints and your patches
With your dreams of what will not be.
You threw out the bed that cradled the love
Of myself and my lost wife, Marie.
Your kids sleep at night with those dreams oh so bad.
You say their like ones you had as a lad
But it’ really just me holding them so tight
So tight … that they just might not breath.
It was for Marie
That I bought this house,
It was meant to be
An affirmation of our lives,
But she’s gone.
I don’t know where,
But I’m here.
Have you ever wondered why your wife’s turning sickly
Maybe something’s wrong with her food.
Better check the basement and that can of rat poison
Whose lid has somehow come unscrewed.
Things can change in a minute of time.
You might lose your wife just as I lost mine.
Step very carefully down to the cellar
The middle step is wobbly it is true.
Some nails might have loosened late last night
And the light switch might fail for you.
If you should fall, remember these words,
“Accidents happen, a misstep occurs”
I can’t say I’d be unduly disturbed,
If your neck was broken in two.
Come buy my house,
For this is my house.
Although I died several years ago,
This is my house.
Come buy my house,
If you … dare.
