When Hell Comes Home Lyrics

Daddy wants to take me for a ride
Daddy likes to drink when daddy drives
He's pounding on my door
He wants to come inside
Yeah daddy wants to take me for a ride

That's just the way it is, when I'm left alone
Yeah that's when hell comes...

The song's a about a boy (Steven) who's raised by an alcoholic father and his abused mother (and maybe Steven himself is also abused by the father, but that's just my interpretation). He suddenly start planning on killing his father by by putting one "right between his eyes."

I just love the dark, twisted atmosphere in this song. I think Alice telling such a nightmare-ish story in the song.
