Going Deep Underground

In a house where you'd never expect it  
The doorbell just turned you around  
Your daylight mainstream life is corrected  
In a grotto that thrives underground  
 
The butler seems to have no life  
But you didn't come here to see him  
And the host feeds on man's inner strife  
Somehow when he laughs you feel grim  
 
But you are not here for him or his wife  
And here comes a sly, short little punk  
Is he quite harmless or packing a knife?  
Just don't try to get him out of his funk  
 
However you got here it's not to see him  
While as though you cannot do this alone  
Towing parents along with your whim  
As if for your love you must now atone  
 
The parade of insanity continues  
While you wait for the one who invited your stay  
And while all the meet and greet ensues  
You finally spot her coming your way!  
 
Will your own kin see what you see?  
A glory that clearly bested the day  
Yet so dark and so deep she can be  
She seems like a treasure that's hidden away  
 
Here, under this newly blooming romance  
Now daylight seems as dim as the darkness  
Their butler's alive at your second glance  
While her dad's endorsement stands in starkness  
    
Against his salty humor of disapproval  
Revolving around your circus of social life  
Their grave honesty meets your approval  
And somehow it's melting your inner strife  
 
Dinner time is over much too soon  
But now your whole family is happy  
Your mother is just over the moon  
...she won't stop staring at your daddy  
 
From the weird house full of crazies  
Comes treasure to cheer you and yours  
So when you're all pushing up daisies  
Love will keep you on living, it assures
