The citylights fade and the sky turns black
Crickets chirp in time and say I
I've got a rusty switchblade
A hip flask of whiskey to warm the night
Tiny red eyes staring back at me
Something eating something
My, my, my, you better stay inside
Walk away or I'll come back
Don't go past the last house on the
Old enough to know better
and too young to wonder why I was
just 21 and I was never gonna die
Drinking gold death from an old tin cup
My, my, my, you better stay inside
Don't go swimming against the tide
Walk away, you walk on by
Mama, mama, mama, come home on time
Your house is on fire and
Don't go past the black house on the right
If there's a moral to the story,
I'd be the first to ad mit it.
You want to find the truth,
you gotta go out and get it.
Sometimes you can't know,
Bye, bye, bye, you better stay inside.
Don't go swimming against the tide
Walk away, you're out gone die
Don't go swimming against the tide
Your house is on fire and your
My, my, my, you better stay inside
Don't go swimming against the tide
Don't go past the last house on the right
Mama, mama, mama, we're out of time
swimming against the tide
The house is on fire and the
Don't go past the last house on the right
I might never stay inside
never swim against the tide
Don't walk away, don't walk on by
Don't go past the last house on the right
