lyrics

When I was a kid
Not very old
We lived on a hill
Down Slaughterhouse road

Wild tobacco grew
in the snake garden
where we walked for days
but never reached the end

To the big blue lake
so deep so cold
it lay at the very end
of Slaughterhouse road

lived in our own world
kept the door closed
can't ever go back down
Slaughterhouse road

up on the hill
up further you go
to reach the Slaughterhouse
Standing lonely and still

Nothing much came
or went from it
'cept a useless band of
barefoot misfits

The Deadwood sticks
made the world look old
when we were young
down Slaughterhouse road

the nights got longer
the howling wind froze
but the fires never warmed up
Slaughterhouse road

52 cars
lined up in rows
tumbling down the hill
on slaughterhouse road


we broke into
the bakehouse store
to get the replica pistol
to be outlaws

later that night
a red fever took hold
still remember the face
come in out of the cold


The Magic man’s calling
his doves to come home
When the last sun was setting
on slaughterhouse road

The ghosts are still calling
carry us home
but I've never been back
down Slaughterhouse Road
