Bible House

see the man standing in the doorway
(down at the bible house)
he¡¯s got a meat hook in his hand
there¡¯s a slab hanging in the closet
gonna drag that meat to the promised land
see the girl working in the kitchen
she¡¯s got scars up and down her arms
cigarette burning in the ashtray
you wouldn¡¯t think that it could do any harm
everybody¡¯s happy
everybody¡¯s smiling
you wonder if it¡¯s really true
all the little sinners
underneath the floor
you wonder what they really do
see the group gathered in a circle
holding hands and waiting for a sign
there¡¯s a smell coming through the floorboards
you know that devil¡¯s been here all this time
see the crowd coming up the driveway
the good people of the town
they¡¯ve got gasoline and matches
they¡¯re gonna burn that hell house down
everybody¡¯s happy
everybody¡¯s smiling
you wonder if it¡¯s really true
all the little sinners
underneath the floor
you wonder what they really do
