Take a walk around these streets These quiet suburban streets Just after nightfall Through the parted curtains To the warm inner glow You'll see things to make your skin crawl There is murder and mayhem behind every door There is tenderness and mercy behind every door There is cruelty and kindness behind every door And it's not what you expect On a cold September evening On your way home from work You think that you're alone With your silent inner demons But everyone is just the same you know There is murder and mayhem behind every door There is tenderness and mercy behind every door There is cruelty and kindness behind every door There is murder and mayhem behind every door There is tenderness and mercy behind every door There is cruelty and kindness behind every door There is murder and mayhem behind every door There is madness and heartbreak behind every door There is cruelty and kindness behind every door
