David Byrne Neighborhood Lyrics

Neighborhood Lyrics

Funky beats, Barrow Street

Walking with your dog



I see you, You see me

Then we stop & talk



Later on, some cafe

Thinking what you said



Children laugh, telling jokes 

'Till their eyes are red



The people feel so good

Say boy, say girl

All in my neighborhood

Say boy, say girl

We got peace, love & monkey business 

Gonna reach the very top

There'll be pride, hope & Sunday mornings 

All the things I'm thinking of

We could change the world 

In the night while we are sleeping

The Power's in my neighborhood



Liquor stores, stop & shop

Old folks sit outside

Restaurants - Laundromats

She's still on my mind



April, May, June, July 

August comes around

Pretty soon, a years gone by

And we're still hanging out



The people feel so good

Say boy, say girl

All in my neighborhood

Say boy, say girl

We got peace love & monkey business 

Gonna reach the very top

There'll be pride, hope & Sunday mornings 

All the things I'm thinking of

We could change the world 

In the night while we are sleeping





Now the rich get richer

& the poor stay poor

& folks get restless

If it don't change soon



But there's a sweet sensation

Turnin bad to good

& things get better

In my neighborhood 



So burn on - you little candle - put your light into my head

There's a lone wolf - on the mountain - he's the friend you never had

We got peace, love & monkey business - gonna reach the very top

There'll be - pride, hope & Sunday mornings - all the things I'm thinking
of



So, come on down
