Mansion on the Hill - Electric Nebraska

Оригінал

There's a place out on the edge of town, sir

Risin' above the factories and the fields

And ever since I was a child, I can remember

That mansion on the hill

In the day you can see the children playing

On the road that leads to those gates of hardened steel

Steel gates that completely surround, sir

The mansion on the hill

At night, my daddy'd take me, and we'd ride

Through the streets of a town so silent and still

We park on a back road down along the highway side

And look up at that mansion on the hill

In the summer, and all the lights would shine

There'd be music playin', people laughin' all the time

Me and my sister, we'd hide out in the tall corn fields

Sit and listen to the mansion on the hill

Now tonight down here in the valley

I watch the cars blast by home from the mill

There's a beautiful full moon rising

Above the mansion on the hill
