Plots For Sale

Clean and empty vacant spot Built to make sure you thoroughly rot Spacious area, room to grow For a lot cheaper than it ought to go Nice little path for a flower bed An ex barber next door to shave your head Down the road whilst our children sleep City workers clean our streets A little lively towards the nights eve But still enough serenity allowing you to believe Christening are twice a week Or counseling and guidance other days of the week Down the street and around the block Are places corpses hang and talk? How much money in your pocket child I’ve got a price it’s listed on file Still unsure well move aside There’s another person waiting in line Well considering just who you are Part of your payment could come from the stars Wait sir please don’t run Just a few more questions then I’ll be dun Are you sure it’s been properly infected After all I may not need to be resurrected And must the exterminator always be near Perhaps in the contract it wasn’t quite clear And finally before I sign this page When do the vermin get their chance on stage? Plot 4 sale Spacious plot 4 sale Empty vacant plot 4 sale Is it in heaven or is it in hell
