Sheryl Crow - There Goes the Neighborhood lyrics

rate me

Hey let's party, let's get down, let's turn the radio on,

This is the meltdown.

Get out the camera, take a picture,

The drag queens and the freaks

Are all out on the town.

And cowboy Jane's in bed

Nursing a swollen head.

Sunshine Sally and Peter Ustanov

Don't like the scene anyhow.

I dropped acid on a Saturday night

Just to see what the fuss was about.

Now there goes the neighborhood.

The photo chick made to look sickly

Is standing in her panties in the shower.

She plays the guitar in the bathroom

While the police dust her mother's plastic flowers.

And Schooboy John's in jail

Making a killing through the U.S. mail.

Sunshine Sally and Peter Ustanov

Don't like the scene anyhow.

I dropped acid on a Saturday night

Just to see what the fuss was about.

There goes the neighborhood.

There goes the neighborhood.

This is the movie of the screenplay of the book about a girl who meets a junkie.

The messenger gets shot down just for carrying the message to a flunky.

We can't be certain who the villains are 'cuz everyone's so pretty

But the afterparty's sure to be a wing-ding as it moves into your city.

Sunshine Sally and Peter Ustanov

Don't like the scene anyhow.

I dropped acid on a Saturday night

Just to see what the stink was about.

Sunshine Sally and Peter Ustanov

Don't like the scene anyhow.

I dropped acid on a Saturday night

Just to see what the fuss was about.

There goes the neighborhood.

There goes the neighborhood.

(Sheryl Crow/Jeff Trott)
