Duplexes Of The Dead

Lyrics

I went on down unto the duplexes of the dead
 Where the shades are drawn and the shadows shut
 Unless you know the magic word
 Seldom said but often heard
 Bite your lip then spin around three times
 On our honeymoon, my husband sat still
 With a look in his eyes and a pen in his left hand
 He wrote on the varnish the magic word
 Seldom seen and never heard
 He shushed me then slumped backwards dead asleep
 I went grumpy sitting in the sun by the umbrella stand
 Making every single unreasonable demand
 I covered my head and went to the office pool
 Dipped in reverent a re-soled mule
 And asked the chlorine fumes if there something they wanted to bring up
