Em D
His father was a drinker
Bm G
And his mother cried in bed
Em D
Folding John Wayne's T-shirts
Bm G
When the swingset hit his head
Em D
The neighbors they adored him
Bm G
For his humor and his conversation
Em D
Look underneath the house there
Bm
Find the few living things
G Em
Rotting fast in their sleep of the dead
D Bm
Twenty-seven people even more
G
They were boys with their cars summer jobs
Em,D,Bm,
Oh my God
G
Are you one of them
Em D
He dressed up like a clown for them
Bm G
With his face paint white and red
Em D
And on his best behavior
Bm G Em
In a dark room on the bed he kissed them all
D
He'd kill ten thousand people
Bm
With a sleight of his hand
G Em
Running far running fast to the dead
D
He took off all their clothes for them
Bm
He put a cloth on their lips
G
Quiet hands quiet kiss
Em,D
On the mouth
G,Em
D
And in my best behavior
Bm G
I am really just like him
Em D
Look beneath the floorboards
Bm G
For the secrets I have hid
