Well it's a postcard town if you're looking with a naked eye
A minorAm                 E minorEm           A minorAm
But if you look a little closer it's got a dark and evil side
                       C majorC
All around the edges that's where the devil dwells
 A minorAm              E minorEm                  A minorAm
If you were born on the wrong side of the corn you know it all too well

If you're a pretty young thing he'll let you pay him with your body

If you ever get the chance you better get out while you can

You don't want to be caught dead in the devil's den

It's got a stove pipe sticking out the bathroom window

They ain't slept in days, they've been whipping up another batch
