When I was twelve   while checkin' the mail   I was admiring the car   of the man next door   and thinking to myself   one of these days   gonna have me a house like that   with a big red door   and his lawn was mowed   and his grass was green   and the driveway was edged   and all the shrubs were trimmed so perfectly   I had a crush on his wife   and I played ball with his son   I pondered how much money he made   went inside and turned the TV on      And he was layin'   in an overflowing bathtub of red water   the first and the last time he ever relaxed   and they said   he had a smile on his face   his final offer   the steam on the mirror said one more thing to say      I was watching TV   watching one of Mom's famous rice krispie treats   watchin' Tom and Jerry   I heard a car horn beep   I ran to the window   his wife and son were home   with bags of stuff they got at the mall   I went in my room and got my glove and ball   I leapt off the steps   and asked his son could he played   and his son looked at his wife and his wife told his son   I guess it'll be ok   that beautiful woman   she walked in that beautiful house   when I realized I forgot my hat I said I'll be back and turned around      And he was laying   in an overflowing bathtub of red water   the first and the last time he ever relaxed   and they said   he had a smile on his face   his final offer   the steam on the mirror said I got one more thing to say      There was screaming   there was crying   there was sirens   I thought I was dreamin'   and the sun was shinin'   it was a beautiful day   the wife was talking to an officer   and through the noise I heard her say      And he was laying   in an overflowing bathtub of red water   the first and the last time he ever relaxed   and they said   he had a smile on his face   his final offer   the steam on the mirror said    I got one more thing to say      And he was laying   in an overflowing bathtub of red water   the first and the last time he ever relaxed   and they said   he had a smile on his face   his final offer   the steam on the mirror said      And he was laying   in an overflowing bathtub of red water   the first and the last time he ever relaxed   and they said   he had a smile on his face   his final offer   the steam on the mirror said I got one more thing to say
