Oh my neighbor, my neighbor

At best we share a fence

We smile at each other

And we make up all the rest

I see you

Six-foot-two

In the polyester suit

Safe behind a cabin now

Wonderin' if I'm around

'Cause who am I?

Just some guy

With a turban and a knife

Only here to take away

Only reason you're afraid

There's no face

There's no man behind the name

I've started to believe

My neighbor, we're the same



La la la la

La la la la la la la

Na na na

La la la la La la la la



Oh my neighbor, my neighbor

My only reason why

My music stops at ten p.m

Your rooster crows at five

Be it so

Now I know

We're together, not alone

If I borrow would you share?

If I suffer would you care?

Tell me who you praise

Where you let your children pray

Pad every square inch of earth

God forbid you're ever hurt

Live forevermore

With a lock upon your door

Close the windows, draw the shades

Never learn your neighbor's name



La la la la

La la la la la la la

Na na na

La la la la La la la la

La la la la

La la la la la la la



Oh my neighbor, my neighbor (My neighbor, my neighbor)

Oh my neighbor, my neighbor (Oh my neighbor, my neighbor)

Oh my neighbor, my neighbor (Oh my neighbor, my neighbor)

Oh my neighbor, my neighbor (Oh my neighbor, my neighbor)

Oh my neighbor, my neighbor (Oh my neighbor, my neighbor)
