Death In Her Room Lyrics
there's death in her room
you can probably see it
the way both her dogs
have been staring at me, yeah
there's death in her room
but it probably melts down to nothing
there's death in her room
where there used to be toys, yeah
enough to go 'round
for the girls, for the boys, yeah
there's death in her room
but it probably melts down to nothing
'cause my baby likes to get undressed
my baby needs to be possessed
my baby, so tender, my baby
there's death in her room
and it blends with the noise, yeah
she always receives with im-
peccable poise, yeah
there's death in her room
but it probably melts down to nothing
'cause my baby likes to get undressed
my baby needs to be possessed
my baby, so tender, my baby, yeah
my baby, warlocks in her ear
my baby needs to be aware
my baby, so tender, my baby, yeah
my baby loves to get undressed
[she needs to be possessed in her room]
my baby, warlocks in her ear
my baby needs to be aware
my baby, so tender, my baby, yeah
my baby likes to get undressed
my baby needs to be possessed
my baby, so tender, my baby
death in her room
you can probably see it
the way both her dogs
have been staring at me
yeah, there's death in her room
but it probably melts down to nothing
you can probably see it
the way both her dogs
have been staring at me, yeah
there's death in her room
but it probably melts down to nothing
where there used to be toys, yeah
enough to go 'round
for the girls, for the boys, yeah
there's death in her room
but it probably melts down to nothing
my baby needs to be possessed
my baby, so tender, my baby
and it blends with the noise, yeah
she always receives with im-
peccable poise, yeah
there's death in her room
but it probably melts down to nothing
my baby needs to be possessed
my baby, so tender, my baby, yeah
my baby needs to be aware
my baby, so tender, my baby, yeah
[she needs to be possessed in her room]
my baby needs to be aware
my baby, so tender, my baby, yeah
my baby needs to be possessed
my baby, so tender, my baby
you can probably see it
the way both her dogs
have been staring at me
yeah, there's death in her room
but it probably melts down to nothing

Amazing song.
A little girl's mother (the singer/narrator) just KNOWS there is a dead body in her daughters bedroom, but she dismisses it because, hey, little girls can't kill, right? But her daughter did kill someone. In fact, she's quite proud of her murder. "heck of a poise", indeed.
I always have kind of interpreted this song as being about the woman's daughter having an abortion. She still sees her daughter as a baby, but her daughter is growing up and 'likes to get undressed.' The daughter has dealt with the emotional aspects of the abortion but her mother can still sense the 'death in her room.'
Also, I've thought the line was 'she always receives with impeccable poise.'
