Neighborhood Blues by David Kauffman and Eric Caboor Lyrics

Genre: rock | Year: 1984

[Verse 1]
My daddy's workin' and my mama's in bed
Been there for eight days with a pain in her head
My sister's struttin' her stuff on the grass
Brother's out huntin' one more piece of ass

[Chorus]
But I think I'll write me a letter
Think I'll send it away
To some lonesome loser
Who'll hear what I've got to say

[Verse 2]
The Neighborhood begins to smell like death
Windows are foggin' from a drunkard's breath
Junkies are shakin' out of every tree
The dog next door don't want to let them be

[Chorus]
But I think I'll write me a letter
Think I'll send it away
To some lonesome loser
Who'll hear what I've got to say
[Verse 3]
My old acquaintances have just moved on
To one-track houses with Bermuda lawns
Their cars are painted like their ladies' nails
At least their chrome will shine when all else fails

[Chorus]
But I think I'll write me a letter
Think I'll send it away
To some lonesome loser
Who'll hear what I've got to say

[Verse 4]
The sun is droppin' like a dish to the floor
Darkness comes crashin' but there's somethin' more
The moon has faded and the stars are all gone
This town may never see another dawn

[Chorus]
But I think I'll write me a letter
I think I'll send it away
To some lonesome loser
Who'll hear what I've got to say

[Outro]
Yeah, some lonesome loser
Who'll hear what I've got to say
Ain't there no lonesome loser
Who'll hear what I've got to say?
Am I the only loser
Left in this world...
Today?
