House in the Hills
Welcome to my house in the hills
I live uptown with an ocean view
Bad news is there's bars in my cell
And of my sights they block a few
I do miss the morning dew
See that guy in the corner's Billy Bob
He hates his drugs n' pills n' food from cans
Well, he finally made those people stop
Now Nurse Denise is dead and no more Doctor Stan
Well, now he's half-a-man
Welcome to my house in the hills
I live uptown with an ocean view
Bad news is there's bars in my cell
And of my sights they block a few
I do miss the morning dew
Here's Al-the-Man-with-a-Tommy-Gun
Proud breaker of the family bread
Found son n' wife with no rubber on
Something just went wrong inside his head
Now his entire street is dead
N' little Judith Manglergirl
Took one cool zip from the Clorox bottle
She ate the liver of Farmer Earl
And smothered all his cattle
And used his larynx for a rattle
A rattle
A rattle
A rattle
On the level below mine
They keep the darkest flower
So scary is his crime
That every waking hour
He makes the shadows cower
Now here's what's really terrifying
Ain't nothin' that he did or said
Except of course for this tiny thing
He chose his cell with no regret
This room and board and bed
He says he likes the quiet here
Among our lunacy and fear
Had a pretty wife and a lovely child
Now that they are gone it seem so clear
That's why he chose the world in here
The guards won't even look at him
He says we share the biggest secret of them all
As soon as my lights turned dim
Even though I won't admit it
I too chose life behind these stupid walls
Walls
Stupid walls
Walls
I live uptown with an ocean view
Bad news is there's bars in my cell
And of my sights they block a few
I do miss the morning dew
See that guy in the corner's Billy Bob
He hates his drugs n' pills n' food from cans
Well, he finally made those people stop
Now Nurse Denise is dead and no more Doctor Stan
Well, now he's half-a-man
Welcome to my house in the hills
I live uptown with an ocean view
Bad news is there's bars in my cell
And of my sights they block a few
I do miss the morning dew
Here's Al-the-Man-with-a-Tommy-Gun
Proud breaker of the family bread
Found son n' wife with no rubber on
Something just went wrong inside his head
Now his entire street is dead
N' little Judith Manglergirl
Took one cool zip from the Clorox bottle

And smothered all his cattle
And used his larynx for a rattle
A rattle

So scary is his crime

Now here's what's really terrifying

As soon as my lights turned dim
Even though I won't admit it
I too chose life behind these stupid walls
Walls
Stupid walls
Walls
