The Neighbor Never Knew

Intro

(Whistling)

Verse 1

Mailman came this morning with a smile and a wave

I waved back with a shovel from the fresh grave that I made

Cat next door keeps yowling scratching at the door

I'm thinking of a way to make it meow no more

Pre-Chorus

Tick tock tick tock clock is on the wall

Nobody's gonna hear it when the last one falls

Chorus

Oh the neighbor's got a problem but he doesn't know it yet

I've got a body in the basement and a heart full of regret

But regret's a luxury when you're having so much fun

So pass the bleach and garbage bags

Pass the bleach and garbage bags

My work is never done

Drop

Done done done

Never done never done

Done done done

My work is never done

Verse 2

My wife keeps asking questions like where's the garden hose

I told her that it's buried along with all my old clothes

She found a lock of hair last night stuck to the kitchen tile

I smiled and said that's from the time I had to clean the file

Pre-Chorus

Neighbors wave neighbors smile neighbors never ask

Strange how everybody melts behind a plastic mask

Chorus

Oh the neighbor's got a problem but he doesn't know it yet

I've got a head inside the freezer and a heart full of regret

But regret's a luxury when you're having so much fun

So pass the bleach and garbage bags

Pass the bleach and garbage bags

My work is never done

Drop

Never done never done

Done done done

Never done

Bridge

The funeral was lovely I even shed a tear

I sat between the widow and the detective drinking beer

They asked me if I saw a thing I pointed at the moon

I said the killer's long gone he'll be back here soon

Verse 3

Now I'm digging in the backyard beneath the willow tree

The roots are getting tangled with the parts I didn't keep

The cops are getting closer they've got a brand new lead

I guess I'll have to clean again no I don't feel the need

Chorus

Oh the neighbor's got a problem but he doesn't know it yet

I've got a body in the basement and a heart full of regret

But regret's a luxury when you're having so much fun

So pass the bleach and garbage bags

Pass the bleach and garbage bags

My work is never done

Outro

So if you hear a scratching sound coming from the wall

Don't call the exterminator just let the bastard crawl

Because everyone's a problem till they're neatly in a box

And I've got plenty of room still have you seen my new padlocks

(Whistling fades)
