The new house
I buy a house at quite a bargain
The estate agent seems quite happy that she sold the house
She seems happy
almost too happy
Behind my back she whispers "sucker"
Behind her back I whisper "sucker"
Night no 1
Seems like a great home
It needs a little DIY
But not too
What a day buying this house at quite a bargain
Off to bed I go
9pm
I hear the sounds
drip...drip
drip...drip
drip...drip
I tightly twist all the taps from the
Bath
Zink
Basements
and then go back to bed
10pm
A new smell occurs
Sneaking it's way into my nostrils
and waking me up
The smell of rotting corpses
I check the whole house all seems fine
I find my little box tv and watch a movie
11pm
The movie is at its climax
Showering the screen with bullets
and the people are all still alive
Sure
Blood starts leaking down the walls
Now I know why I got such a place at a bargain
11:15pm
I grab a hammer
and start breaking up the wall behind
behind the tv
Here's what I discover
Body parts
Arms
Legs
Heads
Eyes
11:30pm
I tear up a second wall
Same story
I call the estate agent
asking "Why are there body parts in the walls"
She replies "Oh didn't you know these people were cannibals"
I stay awake for the rest of the night
The next day I give the walls new wallpaper
It looks great
and then I sell it again
The estate agent seems quite happy that she sold the house
She seems happy
almost too happy
Behind my back she whispers "sucker"
Behind her back I whisper "sucker"
Night no 1
