Neighborly Secrets

Across the fence, a yellow house stands tall

With wooden boards nailed up against the wall (wait,

who is that?) I saw a shadow moving in the room

A mustache hiding in the dusty gloom

Hello neighbor,

what are you hiding inside?

(shhh) Behind the basement door where secrets reside?

Hello neighbor,

I'm climbing over the wall (look out!) If I get caught,

it's the end of it all

Trevor's watching from his windowpane This strange new neighbor's driving him insane

(what's he doing?) He's digging holes under the midnight sky

With a red mug and a suspicious eye

Footsteps on the stairs,

running fast How long can this cat-and-mouse game last?

He's right behind me,

I hear the keys jingle

(run, run!) My spine is starting to tingle

Hello neighbor,

what are you hiding inside?

(shhh) Behind the basement door where secrets reside?

Hello neighbor,

I'm climbing over the wall (look out!) If I get caught,

it's the end of it all

(shhh... quiet now)
