Lyrics

What's he building in there?What the hell is he building In there?He has subscriptions to thoseMagazines He neverwaves when he goes byHe's hiding something fromthe rest of us He's allto himself I think I knowwhy He took down thetire swing from the PeppertreeHe has no children of hisOwn you see He has no dogand he has no friends andhis lawn is dying and what about all those packageshe sends. What's he building in there?with that hook light on the stairs. What's he buildingin there I'll tell you one thinghe's not building a playhouse forthe children what's he buildingin there?

Now what's that sound from under the door? He's pounding nails into a hardwood floor and I swear to god I heard someonemoaning low and I keep seeing the blue light of a T.V. showHe has a routerand a table saw and youwon't believe what Mr. Sticha sawThere's poison underneath the sinkof course But there's alsoenough formaldehyde to chokea horse What's he buildingin there. What the hell is hebuilding in there? I heard hehas an ex-wife in some placecalled Mayors Income, Tennesseeand he used to have aconsulting business in Indonesiabut what is he building in there?What the hell is he building in there?

He has no friendsbut he gets a lot of mailI'll bet he spent a littletime in jailI heard he was up on the roof last nightsignaling with a flashlightand what's that tune he'salways whistlingWhat's he building in there?What's he building in there?

We have a right to know
