[Verse 1]

The old man down the block

The curtains are all drawn

To ward off prying eyes

What's he hide

With those locks?

You could almost swear that

You can hear the muffled cries

The lady two doors down

She is in the backyard

Messing as the sun sets

She's digging

In the ground

She is filling holes with

Every bit of evidence

[Chorus]

They all got something to hide

Secrets buried that you'll never find

Such strange persons occupy their spare time

In the odd hours of the night

[Verse 2]

The neighbor

Up the street

Always in the tool shed

Using machinery

Reclusive

And discreet

You could almost swear that

You can hear the sounds of screams

The housewife

Right next door

As the family sits still

In the dark living room

She performs

Nightly chores

Doesn't it seem odd that

They no longer seem to move?

[Chorus]

They all got something to hide

Secrets buried that you'll never find

Such strange persons occupy their spare time

In the odd hours of the night

[Verse 3]

Who am I to blame?

I know they think the same

Who am I to judge?

I won't hold a grudge

If they only knew

What's hidden from view

Down in my cellar

It would cause a stir

[Chorus]

They all got something to hide

Secrets buried that you'll never find

Such strange persons occupy their spare time

In the odd hours of the night
