Neighborhood Threat Lyrics - David Bowie

1 Down where your paint is cracking

2 Look down you backstair buddy

3 Somebody's living there and

4 He don't really feel the weather

5 And he don't share your pleasures

6 No he don't share your pleasures

7 Look at his eyes

8 Did you see his crazy eyes

9 You're so surprised he don't run to catch your ash

10 Everybody always wants to kiss your trash

11 Ah you can't help him

12 Nobody can

13 Now that he knows

14 There's nothing to get

15 Will you still place your bet

16 On the neighborhood threat

17 Somewhere a baby's bleeding

18 Somewhere a mother's needing

19 Outside a boy is lying

20 But mostly he is crying

21 And he just shouts in anger

22 You'll find him interesting

23 Look at his eyes

24 Did you see his crazy eyes

25 You're so surprised he doesn't build for you

26 Everybody always wants to run with you

27 Ah you can't help him

28 Nobody can

29 Now that he knows

30 There's nothing to get

31 Will you still place your bet

32 On the neighborhood threat

33 You're so surprised he don't run to catch your ash

34 Everybody always wants to kiss your trash

35 Ah you can't help him

36 Nobody can

37 Now that he knows

38 There's nothing to get

39 Will you still place your bet

40 On the neighborhood threat

41 On the neighborhood threat (a night in your face)

42 Don't place your bets (a night in your place)

43 On the neighborhood threat (will you still place your bets)

44 Don't place your bets (when the neighbor comes)

45 On the neighborhood threat (neighborhood threat)

46 Don't place yor bets

47 On the neigborhood threat
