David Byrne - Neighborhood Lyrics
Funky beats, Barrow StreetWalking with your dogI see you, You see meThen we stop & talkLater on, some cafeThinking what you saidChildren laugh, telling jokes'Till their eyes are redThe people feel so goodSay boy, say girlAll in my neighborhoodSay boy, say girlWe got peace, love & monkey businessGonna reach the very topThere'll be pride, hope & Sunday morningsAll the things I'm thinking ofWe could change the worldIn the night while we are sleepingThe Power's in my neighborhoodLiquor stores, stop & shopOld folks sit outsideRestaurants - LaundromatsShe's still on my mindApril, May, June, JulyAugust comes aroundPretty soon, a years gone byAnd we're still hanging outThe people feel so goodSay boy, say girlAll in my neighborhoodSay boy, say girlWe got peace love & monkey businessGonna reach the very topThere'll be pride, hope & Sunday morningsAll the things I'm thinking ofWe could change the worldIn the night while we are sleepingNow the rich get richer& the poor stay poor& folks get restlessIf it don't change soonBut there's a sweet sensationTurnin bad to good& things get betterIn my neighborhoodSo burn on - you little candle - put your light into my headThere's a lone wolf - on the mountain - he's the friend you never hadWe got peace, love & monkey business - gonna reach the very topThere'll be - pride, hope & Sunday mornings - all the things I'm thinking ofSo, come on down
