There's something going on `round here,
In this neighbourhood
But what it is i'm not quite sure,
In this neighbourhood
I just can't put my finger on,
What makes me bite my nails
And later on i feel the same,
As though i would
The people never say hello,
They just walk on past
I try to look inside those cars
But it's blackened glass
I hear the screams late at night
Behind my bedroom wall
And later on i'll do the same
And hear the drunk man call
Well i know i'll never leave
`cos there's no way out for me
Now and then i tend to dream
Dream of what i might be
Well i know i'll never leave
`cos there's no way out for me
There's a fear that i know
If i left where would i go?
The pavement has a cactus skin
And a knife like edge
My feet keep sticking to the floor
Where my toes have bled
I hear the screams late at night
Behind my bedroom wall
And later on i'll do the same
And hear the drunk man call
Where's the love that i once had?
It's dying somewhere in the past
I sold my tv, radio
To someone, somewhere, i don't know
Well i know i'll never leave
`cos there's no way out for me
There's a fear that i know
If i left where would i go?
Well i know i'll never leave
`cos there's no way out for me
There's a fear that i know
If i left where would i go?
Well i know i'll never leave
`cos there's no way out for me
Now and then i tend to dream
Dream of what i might have been
Well i know i'll never leave
`cos there's no way out for me
There's a fear that i know
If i left where would i go?
