lyrics

Old Ed Gein was a weird sort of guy
Pretty quiet and more than a little shy
All alone in the families old farm
Who'd expected he'd do anyone harm
Digging up graves late at night
Picking the bits that were just right
Completing rituals so their spirits don't roam
People thought he was slow and kinda dull
He just liked eating beans from a skull

Old Ed loved to play with the dead
But it went to his head
He couldn't let the women go
So he had to become Psycho
Old Ed killer number one
His crime was having too much fun
Old Ed killer number one
His crime was having too much fun


Mamma always loved Eddie best
When she died he lovingly put her to rest
Mothers love was the only kind he had known
He'd make her proud now he was on his own
Plainfield was to be the scene
For Geins macabre horrific dream
1957 Bernice Worden disappeared
Ed's behavior tipped off people's fear

Old Ed loved to play with the dead
But it went to his head
He couldn't let the women go
So he had to become Psycho
Old Ed killer number one
His crime was having too much fun
Old Ed killer number one
His crime was having too much fun

The police gathered out in force
Driving down histories chosen course
Searching the near deserted estate
In the kitchen they saw Worden's fate
She was eviscerated like a dead deer
Her head in a box, heart on the stove
Belts of nipples, scalps on the walls
Mother’s favorite chair patched up with human flesh
The box of noses down the hall

Old Ed loved to play with the dead
But it went to his head
He couldn't let the women go
So he had to become psycho
Old Ed killer number one
His crime was having too much fun
Old Ed killer number one
His crime was having too much fun

Eddy was a bad boy but he did his best
Stacks of porn and crime novels the place was a mess
Ed passionately confessed his crimes
Sent to the loony bin doing time
He died in 1984
Through our memory he'll live forever more
He died in 1984
The memory he'll live forever more

Old Ed loved to play with the dead
But it went to his head
He couldn't let the women go
So he had to become psycho
Old Ed killer number one
His crime was having too much fun
Old Ed killer number one
His crime was that he had too much fun
