Lyrics Neighborhood Threat - 1999 Remastered Version - David Bowie

Down where your paint is cracking
Look down your 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
'Cause everybody always wants to kiss your trash
You can't help him, nobody can
Now that he knows
There's nothing to get
Will you still place your bet
On the neighbourhood threat
Somewhere a baby is bleeding
Somewhere a mother's needing
Outside a boy is lying
And mostly he is crying
Adn he just hunts in anger
You find him interesting
Look at his eyes!
Did you see his crazy eyes?
And you're so surprised he doesn't build for you
Everybody always wants to run with you
But you can't help him, no one can
And now that he knows
There's nothing to get
Will you still place your bet
On the neighbourhood threat
You're so surprised he doesn't run to catch your ash
'Cause everybody always wants to kiss your trash
You can't help him, nobody can
Now that he knows
There's nothing to get
Will you still place your bet
On the neighbourhood threat
