Edgar Allan |
These are the stories of Edgar Allan Poe |
Not exactly the boy next door |
He’ll tell you tales of horror |
Then he’ll play with your mind |
If you haven’t heard of him |
You must be deaf or blind |
These are the stories of Edgar Allan Poe |
Not exactly the boy next door |
He’ll tell you about Usher |
Whose house burned in his mind |
His love for his dear sister |
Her death would drive him wild |
The murder of a stranger |
The murder of a friend |
The callings from the pits of hell |
That never seem to end |
These are the stories of Edgar Allan Poe |
Not exactly the boy next door |
These are the stories of Edgar Allan Poe |
Not exactly the boy next door |
The diabolic image of the city and the sea |
The chaos and the carnage that reside deep within me |
Decapitations, poisonings, hellish not a bore |
You won’t need 3D glasses to pass beyond this door |
Edgar Allan Poe |
Not exactly the boy next door |
No Nosferatu Vincent Price or naked women here |
A mind unfurled, a mind unbent is all we have here |
Truth, fried orangutans flutter to the stage |
Leave your expectations home |
And listen to the stories of Edgar Allan Poe |
We give you the soliloquy the raven at the door |
Flaming pits the moving walls no equilibrium |
No ballast, no bombast |
The unvarnished truth we’ve got |
Mind swoons guilty |
Cooking ravings in a pot |
Edgar Allan Poe |
Not exactly the boy next door |
Edgar Allan Poe |
Not exactly the boy next door |
Tell-tale heart a rotting cask |
A valley of unrest |
A conqueror worm devouring souls |
Keep the best for last |
Rings for Annie Lee |
As Poe’s buried alive |
Regretting his beloved’s death in |
All her many guises-a |
