He Lives Alone Lyrics

He Lives Alone

by Koo Koo Boy

lyrics and music by Scott Coblio



Eddie is very busy today

He likes to keep busy

He keeps his hands busy

A single liight burns

As the hours grow old...



Hey Eddie, Hi Eddie

What have you got to hide, Eddie?

What have you got a-hunting, Eddie?

Hey Eddie, Hi Eddie

What have you got in your hands, Eddie?

What you know,

It's all a game to me, Eddie



Eddie is gentle

And Eddie is mild

He walks like a man

And he laughs like a child

He likes to keep busy

And he lives all alone

The kerosene burns...



Hey Eddie, Hi Eddie

What have you got in your hands, Eddie?

Softly he says to me...

Hey Eddie, Hi Eddie

You've got nothing to hide, Eddie

Don't you know your secret's safe with me

And he says...



"They're all dead

All dead

All dead

But they won't stop talking to me in my head"

Softly he says this and

Falls down flat

His blood stained hand

On the welcome mat



"Goodnight", says he

"Please close the door --

The kitchen door", yeah

The slaughterhouse door



I close it

I close it

I fall into sleep and

Dream of his blood red hands
