In my neighborhood
Your hedge presses against my hedge
In my dreams
Your leg presses against my leg
In my neighborhood
People hate me
In your mind
You overrate me
In my neighborhood
****** burns the sorrow
With you
There's always tomorrow
Neighbors are the worst
They unquench
Labors of thirst
They're also the best
When it comes to people
They're the rest
If you could do me a favor
And not be my neighbor
I need you in my house
You're stuck in my head
You're my louse
Then the neighbors foreclosed my home
Morphing me into the roaming gnome
Does a homeless man have neighbors?
Like a wild dog
With no bone to savor?
It just breaks my heart
When people run each other off the road
With their hate filled cart
In my mind the roadblock is your face
Through the window I see the hate
We'll use my roadblock to erase
