Boy Next Door

　　Richard Max--Boy Next Door

　　Edit by:Afamin

　　Born at the end of a Minnesota freeze

　　Eldest child of Willy and Louise

　　His little sister died at the age of four

　　The family posed, led by Louise

　　Like right out of some kind of Rockwell scene

　　But Jake couldn't fake it anymore

　　Nobody heard the hammer fallin'

　　Sensed that judgement day was callin'

　　Nobody thought to fear the boy next door

　　Everybody loves to point their finger

　　They might as well have pulled the trigger

　　Nobody stopped to hear the boy next door

　　Willy later said he really should've known

　　The boy spent too much time on his own

　　And what was on his mind, God only knew

　　One by one the neighbors went away

　　A gruesome little game Jake taught himself to play

　　His daddy always said, "find something to do"

　　Nobody heard the hammer fallin'

　　Sensed that judgement day was callin'

　　Nobody thought to fear the boy next door

　　Everybody loves to point their finger

　　They might as well have pulled the trigger

　　Nobody stopped to hear the boy next door

　　One less mistake to think about

　　Cause no one read the writing on the wall

　　So much for case 1239

　　Covered up, curled up in a ball

　　One little page in the history of crime

　　Lawyers made a fortune for their time

　　Seems an explanation was never found

　　And I hope this tale won't be misunderstood

　　Things ain't the same in every neighborhood

　　But before you go to sleep tonight

　　Look around

　　Nobody heard the hammer fallin'

　　Sensed that judgement day was callin'

　　Nobody thought to fear the boy next door

　　Everybody loves to point their finger

　　They might as well have pulled the trigger

　　Nobody stopped to hear the boy next door
