I hear the creaking of the broken floor
I hear the scratching at my front door
I never saw nothing like this before
And I don't want to have to board the windows no more
Ever been trapped in a living hell
Behind the couch with the shotgun shells
Turn off the lights and the TV as well
And put out the fire so nobody can tell
Staring out the window through the nails and the wood
They gonna try to bite like you know that they would
Rattling all the locks with a pitch and a trowel
When did this town ever get so foul?
Well you can see it in the whites of their eyes
No don't be fooled cause it ain't no disguise
You see em standing all about on the lawn
And you know it won't be easy staying alive till the dawn
I'm moving out of this cemetery
This house is more like a mortuary
I'm heading down to the basement floor
And I don't want to have to bar the doors no more
Staring out the window through the nails and the wood
They gonna try to bite like you know that they would
Rattling all the locks with a pitch and a trowel
When did this town ever get so foul?
