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

No, he don´t share your pleasures
Did you see his eyes?
Did you see his crazy eyes?
And you´re so surprised he doesn´t run to catch your ash
Everybody always wants to kiss your trash
And you can´t help him, no one can
And now that he knows
There´s nothing to get
Will you still place your bet
Against the Neighbourhood Threat?

Somewhere a baby´s feeding
Somewhere a mother´s needing
Outside her boy is trying
But mostly he is crying
Did you see his eyes?
Did you see his crazy eyes?

And you´re so surprised he doesn´t run to catch your ash
Everybody always wants to kiss your trash
But you can´t help him, no one can
And now that he knows
There´s nothing to get
Not in this place
Not in your face
Will you still place your bet
Against the Neighbourhood Threat? [Repeat]
