Late one sultry summer night, about mid July my boyfriend and I
Were looking for a friends house, for that night we were quite high

Going down the road we saw a house that fit the description
Looking at  all the houses of style and the house inscription

It was a small white ranch home built after the turn of the century
Not a very stylish looking home that was built without cursory

Pulling into the lot, noticed it was dark and all the lights were out
Thought this was the house we walked in the front entrance about

Opened the entryway  saw many people not moving on the floor
They didn't stir when we came in and the scene looked of gore

The home had a huge living room and bodies were everywhere
And the little home it seemed to me, found to be in great disrepair

Hurried back to the truck and drove to the very next house.
It was the exact same and as we entered were quiet as a mouse.

Everyone was up and partying, singing and having a ball
Like nothing upsetting next door was ever going on at all

Didn't know what happened next door but that scene I won't forget
Those bodies all over the floor, not sympathetic I will never regret
