THE HOUSE I LIVE IN (IS THE HOME OF AN EVIL SPIRIT)
WORDS & MUSIC: RAY
GOLDFINGER PUBLISHING, 1999
They took little Annie and locked her up in the basement
They drank her blood and raped her every night
There were pentagrams and black candles on the walls and floors
Smoke mixed with tears kept burning in her eyes
Her mind was gone by the time the police found her
A neighbor couldn’t stand her screams at night
In a mental home they’re trying to make her to forget
But no one can ever - ever take away the pain
THE HOUSE I LIVE IN IS THE HOME OF AN EVIL SPIRIT
I CAN HEAR HIS MOANS AND CRIES WHEN THE LIGHTS ARE LOW
THE HOUSE I LIVE IN IS THE HOME OF AN EVIL SPIRIT
AND HE’S REACHING OUT FOR ME THAT MUCH I KNOW
Sally - Ann she didn’t like her baby brother
Ever since he’d arrived she felt kinda pushed aside
So one night when her folks were asleep she found it’s the right time
To get rid off the little boy and again be the first in line
She slipped right out of bed and walk o’er to the baby’s room
Where he lay a-sleeping…oh so peacefully
And she grabbed that pillow of white and pressed it to his face
And she laughed as he walked past the gate of eternity
THE HOUSE I LIVE IN IS THE HOME OF AN EVIL SPIRIT
I CAN HEAR HIS MOANS AND CRIES WHEN THE LIGHTS ARE LOW
THE HOUSE I LIVE IN IS THE HOME OF AN EVIL SPIRIT
AND HE’S REACHING OUT FOR ME THAT MUCH I KNOW
Some nights there’re very strange thoughts creeping through my head
Then I watch my baby…she’s sleeping by my side
In dreams I put my hands around her soft white neck
And see that look of disbelief there in her eyes
In cold wet sweat I awake trembling like hell
The truth I gotta face ain’t easy to believe
‘Cause when I kiss my baby and find her lying cold and dead
I know the devil’s got a hold on me at last
THE HOUSE I LIVE IN IS THE HOME OF AN EVIL SPIRIT
AND NOW I KNOW IT’S FAR TOO LATE TO RUN AWAY
THE HOUSE I LIVE IN IS THE HOME OF AN EVIL SPIRIT… IT’S TRUE
AND I’M SORRY, DARLING BUT THAT EVIL SPIRIT THAT’S ME
I’M SORRY, DARLING BUT THAT EVIL SPIRIT THAT’S ME…Hmmmmmmmm
