Down where your paint is cracking
Look down you backstair buddy
Somebody´s living there and
He don´t really feel the weather
And he don´t share your pleasures

No he don´t share your pleasures
Look at his eyes
Did you see his crazy eyes

You´re so surprised he don´t run to catch your ash
Everybody always wants to kiss your trash

Ah you can´t help him
Nobody can
Now that he knows
There´s nothing to get
Will you still place your bet
On the neighborhood threat

Somewhere a baby´s bleeding
Somewhere a mother´s needing
Outside a boy is lying

But mostly he is crying
And he just shouts in anger
You´ll find him interesting
Look at his eyes
Did you see his crazy eyes
You´re so surprised he doesn´t build for you
Everybody always wants to run with you

Ah you can´t help him
Nobody can
Now that he knows
There´s nothing to get
Will you still place your bet
On the neighborhood threat

You´re so surprised he don´t run to catch your ash
Everybody always wants to kiss your trash

Ah you can´t help him
Nobody can
Now that he knows
There´s nothing to get
Will you still place your bet
On the neighborhood threat
On the neighborhood threat (a night in your face)
Don´t place your bets (a night in your place)
On the neighborhood threat (will you still place your bets)
Don´t place your bets (when the neighbor comes)
On the neighborhood threat (neighborhood threat)
Don´t place yor bets
On the neigborhood threat
