Neighborhood Watch by The Extraordinaires Lyrics
One more chance to test the neighborhood watch -
Are they really watching me
Or did they buy a shiny blue sign to scare me off?
One more day to walk down to the park
To study fire ants -
Making noise with a broken branch on a chain link fence
It's days like these I tore my jeans and skinned my knees
And thought the world would end - along with my life
But I'm only ten, I can't begin to comprehend a thing like
Paying rent or a "9 to 5"
One more night to ride around this town -
I think I own it now -
I think I've lived here long enough to own it now
One last look before I leave the ground
I'm floating higher now -
When I let go look out below, I'll hit the clouds without a sound and
Call them "home"
It's nights like this I used to wish my TV dish was not the only one
That saw the stars -
But I can't see through smoke and smog and space debris
So I'll just have to be patient and calm
Are they really watching me
Or did they buy a shiny blue sign to scare me off?
One more day to walk down to the park
To study fire ants -
Making noise with a broken branch on a chain link fence
It's days like these I tore my jeans and skinned my knees
And thought the world would end - along with my life
But I'm only ten, I can't begin to comprehend a thing like
Paying rent or a "9 to 5"
One more night to ride around this town -
I think I own it now -
I think I've lived here long enough to own it now
One last look before I leave the ground
I'm floating higher now -
When I let go look out below, I'll hit the clouds without a sound and
Call them "home"
It's nights like this I used to wish my TV dish was not the only one
That saw the stars -
But I can't see through smoke and smog and space debris
So I'll just have to be patient and calm
