SINGER: David Byrne

SONG:Neighborhood

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
