  Down where your paint is cracking

 Look down your backstairs buddy

  Somebodies living there and

 He don't really feel the weather

  And he don't share your pleasures

 No, he don't share your pleasures
 
Did you see his eyes?
         
Did you see the crazy eyes?

                                          
 And you're so surprised he doesn't run to catch your ash
                          
 Everybody always wants to kiss your trash
     
And you can't help him, no one can
     
And now that he knows
                                                 
There's nothing to get, will you still place your bet
                             
Against the neighbourhood threat?

Somewhere a baby's feeding 
Somewhere a mother's needing 
Outside her boy is trying 
But mostly he is crying 
Did you see his eyes? 
Did you see his crazy eyes? 

And you're so surprised he doesn't run to catch your ash 
Everybody always wants to kiss your trash 
But you can't help him, no one can 
And now that he knows 
There's nothing to get 
Not in this place 
Not in your face 
Will you still place your bet 
Against the Neighbourhood Threat?
