John Wayne Gacy Jr by Sufjan Stevens

His father was a drinker
And his mother cried in bed

Folding John Wayne's t-shirts
When the swingset hit his head

The neighbors they (1)____________ him
For his humor and his conversation

Look underneath the house there
Find the few (2)____________ things
Rotting fast, in their sleep
Oh, the dead
Twenty-seven people
Even more, (3)________ (4)________ boys
With their cars, (5)____________ jobs
Oh my God...

Are you one of them?

He dressed up like a (6)__________ for them
With his face paint (7)__________ and red

And on his best behavior
In a (8)________ room on the bed
He kissed them all
He'd kill ten thousand people
With a sleight of his hand
Running far, running fast to the dead
He took off all (9)__________ clothes for them
He put a (10)__________ on their lips
Quiet hands, quiet kiss on the mouth...

And in my best behavior
I am really just like him

Look beneath the floor boards
For the secrets I have hid
