There's a place out on the edge of town sir
  Risin' 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 the mansion on the hill
    At night my daddy'd take me and we'd ride through the streets of a town so silent and still
  Park on a back road along the highway side
  Look up at that mansion on the hill
    In the summer all the lights would shine there'd be music playin' people laughin' all the time
  Me and my sister we'd hide out in the tall corn fields
  Sit and listen to the mansion on the hill
    Tonight down here in Linden Town I watch the cars rushin' by home from the mill
  There's a beautiful full moon rising above the mansion on the hill
