Chorus:
Your neighborhood gives me the creeps
Your neighborhood gives me the creeps
Oooohhhhh
Your neighborhood gives me the creeps
You live off Cemetery Road
Out your window the old graveyard groans
With roses and weeds
That grow out to the street
Further than weeds ought to grow
The bank condemned most of the homes
The trees all have branches like bones
That go scritch scratch
At the window latch
I never feel like were alone
CHORUS
There's a man and he stands ankle-deep
in a big pile of skeleton leaves
in a bent top hat
of pilgrim black
when I walk by him he winks at me
The streetlights make shadows that yawn
Long after daylight is gone
I hear cackles and screams
That come back in the dreams
Of the girl who appears on the lawn
CHORUS
So can we please sleep at my house tonight?
extra verses:
That one kids out there all the time
He looks like its 1959
In his Western-style wear
Never moves, he just stares
At the old faded speed limit sign
What about the old woman next door
I could swear that Ive seen her before
Dont know where or when
But shes out there again
Watching us both through the door
