Oh there it goes, there goes the neighborhood Let's watch it fly, there goes the neighborhood Watch it fly by in the blink of an eye 'till nothing's left but the birds in the sky Oh, there it goes, there goes the neighborhood Oh there it goes, there goes the neighborhood Go tip your cap, there goes the neighborhood Let's give a cheer boy, ya need not ask why Now move along 'cause the folks are in line Oh there it goes, there goes the neighborhood (solo) Build it up big Do it up right 'Cause what else is there to do on a Saturday night Oh there it goes, there goes the neighborhood Oh there it goes, there goes the neighborhood Let's watch it burn, there goes the neighborhood Son pass the torch, ya need not ask why Pack up your cares leave your troubles behind Oh there it goes, there goes the neighborhood Alright, bye bye now Oh there it goes, there goes the neighborhood Oh there they go all the people in the neighborhood

You've got the world before you You take just what you can You were born with a silver spoon in your mouth and a hundred dollar bill in your hand The remnants of your father It twinkles in your eyes You push all your troubles way down low and away from the world you hide He takes you to the opera He takes you by the hand And he'll never know what you really want But he'll do just what he can He'll never know what hit him It'll take him by surprise And you'll run and you'll run and you'll run and you'll run While the tears Pour down your eyes La da da da da da da, la da da da da da, la da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da Say hello, i'm your narcoleptic soul ....

Hey boy why up so soon? Nothin' doin' till the afternoon Oh sir pay me no mind don't waste your precious time on me Walkin' slowly on down Rollins avenue Now what to do, your world it crashes down on you Now it seems your world, is gonna take you for a twirl and it's too late to run away Don't shake your fist at me all's not what it seems to be I need no sympathy leave me to my sins you'll see Walkin' slowly on down Rollins avenue Now what to do, your world it crashes down on you If everywhere ya go ya walk and stare down at your toes well ya best start movin' your feet and get along (solo) Mirror tell me what you see, I'm the wolf in you and you're the man in me Save me, save me Rest assured you'll live the same a lonely pawn in life's game Save me, save me! And everything you'll find is just a lesson learned in time and if you don't know by now you'll live alone

So i went to the doctor to see just what's wrong I said, "I got this aching head man, and I sleep way too long" "Well are ya runnin' a fever, can ya finish your meals?" and I said, "No doc, set me straight and tell me the deal!" "Well listen now son, you've got the dreamers disease, it'll make you sick sweat and shake, make ya weak in the knees It'll turn your outsides in, and your insides out Not to mention you'll develop a bad case of the gout" "Well please, good sir, help me ease my mind Are there some pills I can take, or someone's shoes I can shine?" "Well easy now, son, you'll have to wait in line The corner store opens tomorrow at 'bout a quarter to nine." Help me lord if ya please I got the dreamer's, I got the dreamer's disease Well I ran outta there just as fast I could I was feelin' mad at the world, a bit misunderstood So I screamed to the heavens shouting, "Give me a sign!" But instead of waiting for an answer I grabbed a bottle of wine I drank until I saw the gates of Sodom In hopes that I'd find the answer at the bottles' bottom But nothin' at all changed inside of me and I knew I was due for another reverie Help me lord if ya please I got the dreamers, I got the dreamers disease The next mornin' when I awoke from up outta my dream About a ten foot tall man and his killin' machine He grabbed me by my shirt and put a gun to my head and said, "If you eat those pills son, you'd be better off dead" Well I didn't care I ran down to the corner store The pharmacists said, "Here's ten pills," and I said "Gimme some more!" I swallowed them all and in the blink of an eye I was just like every other ordinary guy Help me lord if ya please I got the dreamers, I got the dreamers disease First my beard, disappeared Then I stopped singin' songs And all my crazy little thoughts went back where they belong Then the next mornin' I found myself driving a silver sedan and everything seemed to be going just according to plan I'm on my bended knees Help me lord if ya please I got the dreamers I got the dreamers disease
