| The old man down the block
|
| The curtains are all drawn
|
| To ward off prying eyes
|
| What’s he hide with those locks?
|
| You could almost swear that
|
| You can hear the muffled cries
|
| The lady two doors down
|
| She is in the backyard
|
| sunset
|
| She’s digging in the ground
|
| She is filling holes with
|
| Every bit of evidence
|
| They all got something to hide
|
| Secrets buried that you’ll never find
|
| Such strange persons occupy their spare time
|
| In the odd hours of the night
|
| The neighbor up the street
|
| Always in the tool shed
|
| Using the
|
| Reclusive and discreet
|
| You could almost swear that
|
| You can hear the sounds of death
|
| The housewife right next door
|
| As the family sits still
|
| In the darkly lit room
|
| She performs nightly chores
|
| Doesn’t it seem odd that
|
| They no longer seem to move?
|
| They all got something to hide
|
| Secrets buried that you’ll never find
|
| Such strange persons occupy their spare time
|
| In the odd hours of the night
|
| Who am I to blame?
|
| I know they think the same
|
| Who am I to judge?
|
| I won’t hold a grudge
|
| If they only knew
|
| What’s hidden from view
|
| Down in my cellar
|
| It would cause a stir
|
| They all got something to hide
|
| Secrets buried that you’ll never find
|
| Such strange persons occupy their spare time
|
| In the odd hours of the night |
