Kids were disappearing in a small town in Texas
Their bodies before buried were washed to be cleanest
They were found in the woods by the local authorities
They blamed their deaths on ancient horror stories
Mr. Eckles was a ***** old man who lived in a house on the hill
From his room he could watch the children play, and bide his time, leaning on his window sill
His body was found in a bear trap covered with leaves
It was led to by the buzzing meat beas and fleas
One last little girl would go missing before the killer was caught
And by the time he was snared their bodies had begun to rot
She followed him into the woods even though she was young
He was trusted, with red hair and freckles her praises he sung
At the age of eight he was killing with a baseball bat
And when they found him he admitted to all of it
He will miss elementary and junior high school
He will be thrown into life still a young little fool
