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
