The Lonely Manor

from Lawn Ornaments by Bob Drake

/

lyrics

Here in this lonely manor you can see an old skull
perched on a cushion in a cabinet in the attic.
Legend says if it is removed from the house
it returns on its own.

How could a skull move, you might ask,
it's just calcium phosphate, an unliving thing
without any means of self-propulsion

I asked myself the same questions
and I went there myself to see...
if it was true...could it move...
I went and booked myself a room
and one sunny afternoon crept up stealthily
into the attic, to the cabinet
secretly hid the skull away out upon the lonely moor
then went back to see if something would happen...
if something would happen...
That night a petrifying fear petrified us all until
I went back and got the skull and returned it
to its cabinet in the house.
