Mansion on the Hill

There's a place out on the edge of town, sir
Rising above the factories and the fields
Now, 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
That mansion on the hill

In the summer, all the lights would shine
There'd be music playing, people laughing all the time
Me and my sister, we'd hide out in the tall cornfields
Sit and listen to the mansion on the hill

Tonight down here in Linden Town
I watch the cars rushing by, far from the mill
There's a beautiful full moon rising on
The mansion on the hill
