All of you except the ones who said "based on 'A Rose for Emily' by William Faulkner" are wrong. In the story, Emily poisons a man she's "in love"(?) with and keeps his body. Her house stunk. He would always be out with young men. The mansion was a tomb because she poisoned him with arsenic (in this song, cyanide) and kept his body. She would lay down with his corpse every night until she died.
