The Neighborhood

There's a big ol' moon in the neighborhood tonight
There's a cool, cool breeze blowin' all through the down side
And under this big ol' moon there's a cruel, cruel light
So cruel, so bright
In my neighborhood tonight

A car rolls by under street lamplights
Everything is still, all the dogs are quiet
Yeah, I know what's next, and I don't even try to fight it
Just about invite it
To the neighborhood

I can feel it comin' down
The clouds roll in, they surround me
It's rainin' pain and thunderin' fright
In this neighborhood tonight

Here it comes back for more
Somethin' pounding at my door
There's something wrong, ain't nothin' right
There's no sign of hope in sight
In this neighborhood tonight

Now the train rolls 'round about 4:09
And I lie awake while I close my eyes
Now the doubt's like rain, and it floods my mind
Seems like it's drowning time
In the neighborhood

I can feel it comin' down
The clouds roll in, they surround me
It's rainin' pain and thunderin' fright
In this neighborhood tonight

Here it comes back for more
Somethin' pounding at my door
There's something wrong, ain't nothin' right
There's no sign of hope in sight
In the neighborhood tonight
