Down where your paint is cracking
Look down your backstairs buddy
Somebodys living there and
He dont really feel the weather
And he dont share your pleasures
No he dont share your pleasures
Did you see his eyes?
Did you see his crazy eyes?
And youre so surprised
He doesnt run to
Catch your ash
Everybody always
Wants to kiss your trash
And you cant help him
No one can
And now that he knows
Theres nothing to get
Will you still place your bet
Against the neighborhood threat
Somewhere a babys feeding
Somewhere a mothers needing
Outside her boy is trying
But mostly he is crying
Did you see his eyes?
Did you see his cray eyes?
And youre so surprised
He doesnt run to
Catch your ash
Everybody always
Wants to kiss your trash
But you cant help him
No one can
And now that he knows
Theres nothing to get
Not in this place
Not in your face
Will you still place your bet
Against the neighborhood threat
Now that he knows
Theres nothing to get
Nothing to get
Not in this place
Not in your face
Will you still place your bet
Against the neighborhood threat
