Out in the backyard yesterday
Trimming the hedge while the neighbors kids wer in the pool
The power cord got a little close to the waters edge
And sent 10.000 volts down little Billy's spine
He was only nine better luck next time
Woke up one Sunday afternoon
The families' gone on a hunting trip for caribou
Broke out the ladder gonna patch some holes up on the roof
I slipped and fell and landed on the ground
No one was around when will I be found
I'm sure not glad it happened
But I'm happy as can be
That it took the life from someone else
Better them than me
Bought a home right by the plant
They said she'd never blow again like she did before
Perhaps they spoke a bit too soon cause a half passed noon
She blew like hell and then the sky turned red
Toxins overhead everybody's dead
Pleasant dreams and thanks for listening
