Lyrics

The dinner's been in disarray Since I uncorked the cabernet The neighbours' behaviour it ain't so passive no more The mayor is scaring the pastor's kids With his neverending laughing fit The dean is leaving if we aren't gonna get him a straw With manic smiles and segues I pretend to keep the thread There's a pool of blood in the basement Staining the concrete red The dean's got a sleeve full of silverware The mayor's trying to arm wrestle all who dare The neighbours engagement crumbles over cherry, pie 'Well I've been sleeping with your mistress too And she says it's better than it is with you' The pastor snaps a platter with a battlecry The rare occasion glassware Goes sailing past my head There's a pool of blood in the basement Staining the concrete red We sip chablis in silence And wish that we were dead There's a pool of blood in the basement Staining the concrete red
