Lyrics:
We’ve been up in the tree.
Climbed down by the water.
Down by the sea line.
Girl underwater.
The detective finds bites on the daughter
and a bracelet somebody bought her.

We’ve been up in the tree.
Climbed down by the water.
Jack made a beeline.
Boy’s undercover.
We will hunt him down.
Where did he run to?
On the vampire’s trail behind the gumshoe.

It was the world I had.
Scenes I wish I never saw.
The summer taught me that
life’s a baseball bat to the jaw.
Nobody talked like Jack.
Dracula from Arkansas.
He went a bit blood mad.
Gumshoe raised his pistol and cross.
