[00:04.78]Richard Max--Boy Next Door
[00:09.20]Edit by:Afamin
[00:32.71]Born at the end of a Minnesota freeze 
[00:35.72]Eldest child of Willy and Louise 
[00:39.44]His little sister died at the age of four 
[00:45.27]The family posed, led by Louise 
[00:48.40]Like right out of some kind of Rockwell scene 
[00:52.07]But Jake couldn't fake it anymore 
Chorus: 
[03:36.13][01:49.50][00:58.08]Nobody heard the hammer fallin' 
[03:39.27][01:52.59][01:01.14]Sensed that judgement day was callin' 
[03:42.56][01:56.07][01:04.72]Nobody thought to fear the boy next door 
[03:49.10][02:02.39][01:11.23]Everybody loves to point their finger 
[03:52.14][02:05.41][01:14.19]They might as well have pulled the trigger 
[03:55.47][02:08.74][01:17.65]Nobody stopped to hear the boy next door 
[01:24.01]Willy later said he really should've known 
[01:27.00]The boy spent too much time on his own 
[01:30.54]And what was on his mind, God only knew 
[01:36.56]One by one the neighbors went away 
[01:39.87]A gruesome little game Jake taught himself to play 
[01:43.47]His daddy always said, "find something to do" 
Chorus 
[02:16.07]One less mistake to think about 
[02:21.58]Cause no one read the writing on the wall 
[02:28.64]So much for case 1239 
[02:34.37]Covered up, curled up in a ball 
[03:06.51]One little page in the history of crime 
[03:09.62]Lawyers made a fortune for their time 
[03:13.22]Seems an explanation was never found 
[03:19.25]And I hope this tale won't be misunderstood 
[03:22.46]Things ain't the same in every neighborhood 
[03:26.31]But before you go to sleep tonight 
[03:32.50]Look around 
Chorus
