There's an infant crying But I can see the mountain on a clear day There's a riot nextdoor It never ends until she's sleeping in the hallway A flaccid faced veteran walking his blind dog The summer youth parading in the courtyard Windowpanes like washinglines fly cheap cotton flags A loud reminder of their once prosperous prime The ceilings here are floors I'm levelheaded yet confused I'm all for tolerance Now tolerate this I'm a stranger among strangers Love your neighbour Don't forget to lock your door You reap what you sow Lock your door Hand to mouth Hand me downs Awaken alarmed by pipes Like rattling bells We're chasing deadlines Our walls are empty Our stay is temporary The ceilings here are floors I'm levelheaded yet confused I'm all for tolerance And I tolerate this A stranger among strangers Love your neighbour Don't forget to lock your door You reap what you sow Lock your door No one really thought No one really thought this through Under the television-sky Our predestiny plays out in front of our eyes And out of our hands Love your neighbour Don't forget to lock your door You reap what you sow Lock your door There's an infant crying But I can see the mountain on a clear day There's a riot nextdoor It never ends until she's sleeping in the hallway
