Vincent Malloy is seven years old
He's always polite and does what he's told.
For a boy his age he's considerate and nice
But he wants to be just like Vincent Price.
He doesn't mind living with his sister, dog and cat
Though he'd rather share a home with spiders and bats.
There he could reflect on the horrors he's invented
And wander dark hallways alone and tormented.
Vincent is nice when his aunt comes to see him
But imagines dipping her in wax for his wax museum.
He likes to experiment on his dog Abercrombie
In the hopes of creating a horrible zombie.
So he and his horrible zombie dog
Could go searching for victims in the London fog
His thoughts aren't only of ghoulish crime
He likes to paint and read to pass the time
While other kids read books like Go Jane Go
Vincent's favorite author is Edgar Allan Poe
One night while reading a gruesome tale,
He read a passage that made him turn pale
Such horrible news he could not survive
For his beautiful wife had been buried alive
He dug out her grave to make sure she was dead
Unaware that her grave was his mother's flower bed
His mother sent Vincent off to his room
He knew he'd been banished to the tower of doom
Where he was sentenced to spend the rest of his life
Alone with a portrait of his beautiful wife
While alone and insane, encased in his tomb
Vincent's mother suddenly burst into the room
"If you want to you can go outside and play.
It's sunny outside and a beautiful day."
Vincent tried to talk, but he just couldn't speak
The years of isolation had made him quite weak.
So he took out some paper, and scrawled with a pen
"I am possessed by this house, and can never leave it again."
His mother said, "You're not possessed, and you're not almost dead.
These games that you play are all in your head.
You're not Vincent Price, you're Vincent Malloy.
You're not tormented or insane, you're just a young boy."
"You're seven years old, and you're my son
I want you to get outside and have some real fun."
Her anger now spent, she walked out through the hall
While Vincent backed slowly against the wall
The room started to sway, to shiver and creak
His horrid insanity had reached its peak
He saw Abercrombie his zombie slave
And heard his wife call from beyond the grave
She spoke from her coffin, and made ghoulish demands
While through cracking walls reached skeleton hands
Every horror in his life that had crept through his dreams
Swept his mad laugh to terrified screams
To escape the madness, he reached for the door
But fell limp and lifeless down on the floor
His voice was soft and very slow
As he quoted The Raven from Edgar Allan Poe
"And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor
Shall be lifted - Nevermore!"
