There's something going on round here, inthis neighbourhood 

But what it is I'm not quite sure, in this neighbourhood 

I just can't put my finger on, what makes me bite my nails 

And later on I'll feel the same, as though I would 



The people never say hello, they just walk on past 

I try to look inside those cars, but it's blackened glass 

I hear the screams late at night, behind my bedroom wall 

And later on I'll do the same, and hear the drunkman call 



Well I know I'll never leave...cos there's no way out for me 

Now and then I tend to dream...dream of what I might be 



Well I know I'll never leave...cos there's no way out for me 

There's a fear that I know...if I left where would I go? 



The pavemnet has a cactus skin, and a knife-like edge 

My feet keep sticking to the floor, where my toes have bled 

I hear the screams late at night, behind my bedroom wall 

And later on I'll do the same, and hear the drunk man call 



Where's the love that I once had? It's dying somewhere in the past 

I sold my TV, radio. To someone, someone I don't know 



Well I know I'll never leave, 'cos there's no way out for me 

There's a fear that I know, if I left where would I go?
