David Byrne - Neighborhood lyrics

rate me

Funky beats, Barrow Street

Walking with your dog

I see you, You see me

Then we stop & talk

Later on, some cafe

Thinking what you said

Children laugh, telling jokes

'Till their eyes are red

The people feel so good

Say boy, say girl

All in my neighborhood

Say boy, say girl

We got peace, love & monkey business

Gonna reach the very top

There'll be pride, hope & Sunday mornings

All the things I'm thinking of

We could change the world

In the night while we are sleeping

The Power's in my neighborhood

Liquor stores, stop & shop

Old folks sit outside

Restaurants - Laundromats

She's still on my mind

April, May, June, July

August comes around

Pretty soon, a years gone by

And we're still hanging out

The people feel so good

Say boy, say girl

All in my neighborhood

Say boy, say girl

We got peace love & monkey business

Gonna reach the very top

There'll be pride, hope & Sunday mornings

All the things I'm thinking of

We could change the world

In the night while we are sleeping

Now the rich get richer

& the poor stay poor

& folks get restless

If it don't change soon

But there's a sweet sensation

Turnin bad to good

& things get better

In my neighborhood

So burn on - you little candle - put your light into my head

There's a lone wolf - on the mountain - he's the friend you never had

We got peace, love & monkey business - gonna reach the very top

There'll be - pride, hope & Sunday mornings - all the things I'm thinking of

So, come on down
