He cut the head off his neighbours wife, and he
Put it in formaldehyde, and he
Did not look back
He placed the head on his mantelpiece, where the
Family-shots used to be, and he
Poured a cognac

As the weeks went by
They saw eye to eye
They were meant to be
It was destiny

She was all he wanted 
She was all that he'd been waiting for
He knew for sure, he knew for sure
She was all he wanted so he took her
From the man next door
He loved her more, he loved her more

A year had passed when his neighbour knocked on the door
And his heart just stopped, but he
Said, "Please come in"
The next door man talked about his loss, but he
Never knew just how close he was, 'cause she
Looked straight at him

As the years went by
He quit asking why
They were meant to be
It was destiny

She was all he wanted
She was all that he'd been waiting for
He knew for sure, he knew for sure
She was all he wanted so he took her
From the man next door
He loved her more, he loved her more

She'd been his life, his guiding star, so he
Took her out of her see-through jar, 'cause he
Knew it was time
He kissed her mouth, put her back inside, and he
Laid down and there he died, next to
His valentine

No one ever knew
No one had a clue
He was only missed 
By the tax office

She was all he wanted
She was all that he'd been waiting for
He knew for sure, he knew for sure
She was all he wanted so he took her 
From the man next door
He loved her more, he love her more
