Every House in Shady Valley Built on Bones of Previous Owners, Local Realtors Undaunted. A third apocryphal explanation, largely dismissed by the inquisition of Gallitzin, that Adam moved into a house haunted by a soul damned for murder.

lyrics

Deep in the hundred acre woods I found
a gnawing pain, a painful gnaw
to lay the saw to what I saw
to claim it all to claim the lot
for private property.

Oh, there's no lust for the undressed flesh
holds a candle to real estate.
Adam in the garden built a fence.
Me devoid of dollars devoid of sense
could only stumble up the trail to find
the perfect home thought it wasn't mine
I cried to be a landless beast
I looked to the West looked to the East.

Oh, present resident
it is my intent to put you in the past tense,
hop your picket fence
and write my name upon your deed,
absorb your person into me,
lay your body in the golden ground.

No shovel can cover the debt that you owe.
It grows bigger, like cancer.
You traded your neighbor for your neighbor's home.
Hear a knock? Don't answer.
It's your skeletal creditor.

Oh, Christopher, please, your enchanted neighborhood bleeds.

(Picking out paint at Home Depot I heard the thunder of hooves roll 'round the rafters then adding off-white to my Victorian fretting from outside the sound of stifled laughter, "it looks better in red!")

Haunted, I am haunted.
I'll grit my chattering teeth
I'll learn plaster relief
I'll put in a patio
harmonize with muffled screams
I'll profit on the sale
leek, onion, garlic, kale
planted in the back where the soil mounds
and the women wail

Oh, former resident
it is my intent
to keep you in the past tense
paint your picket fence
whatever color that I please
with my name upon the deed
and your body in the golden ground.

Future resident
you have pitched your tent
that much is evident
you've torn out all my fence
it doesn't matter that I've cleaned,
