Room 17 - King Diamond

Room 17 was nice and cool, oh yeah

A few stains on the wall

But that was nothing new to Harry’s head

Even though he was strapped down to his bed, strapped down

Harry felt pretty good…

Knock, knock… knock, knock, is anybody there

Room 17 was nice and cool, oh yeah

But it didn’t have the string

That would ring the nurse, it wasn’t there

Poor harry, he had it coming, poor harry

Now he didn’t feel so good…

Here comes doctor Eastmann and nursie Needle dear

Look at what they got you… the crawly box

«Don't be such a baby, harry stop that now

The doctor’s here to help you… it’s Eastmann time»

In room 17, everything is so clean

In room 17, there is nothing to be seen

«Black, brown, grey and hairy… we’ve got them all

Big, small, fast and scary… yeah we’ve got them all

I can hear it, the spider’s lullabye

I can feel it, the spiders crawl on by»

In room 17, everything is so clean

In room 17, there is nothing to be seen

«Nurse needle it is time to begin…

Nurse needle, stick it in

A brown lycosa’s what I’ve got inside this box

I’m gonna let him out to see just how you feel, when he’s around

If you move too much he might just bite you

But we’ll just have to wait and see about that???»

Deep into the night, they were testing him

So many different species, harry could not win

They forgot a grey one, she was full of eggs

And she would find the warm spot, back in Harry’s neck

It’s so moist and warm in here

Knock, knock… knock, knock, is anybody there

«You forgot some spiders in my room, yesterday

Now I’ve got this stunning pain

And my neck is feeling weird, oh I might die

Overnight some of your spiders must have bit me

They were all over me»

«Oh harry, don’t be such a fool»

That same night harry died

When they found him he was grey and white

Black, brown, grey and hairy… we’ve got them all

Big, small, fast and scary… yeah we’ve got them all

I can hear it, the spider’s lullabye

I can feel it, the spiders crawl on by

In room 17, everything it so clean

In room 17, there is nothing to be seen

In room 17, everything is so clean

In room 17, there is nothing to be seen

Take him to the morgue, take him to the morgue
