There's a big ol' moon in the neighborhood tonight
There's a cold breeze blowin' all through the south side
And under this big ol' moon there shines a cruel, cruel light
So cruel, so bright
In the neighborhood tonight
A car rolls by in the street lamplights
Everything is still, all the dogs are quiet
Yeah, I know what's next, and I'm tryin' to fight it
I won't invite it
To the neighborhood tonight
I can feel it comin' down
The clouds roll in and they surround me
It's rainin' pain and thunderin' fright
In the neighborhood tonight
Here it comes back for more
There's something pounding at the door
There's something wrong and nothing right
There's no sign of hope in sight
In the neighborhood tonight
Now the train comes 'round about 4:09
And I lie awake when I close my eyes
Now the doubt's like rain, and it floods my mind
It is drowning time
In the neighborhood tonight
I can feel it comin' down
The clouds roll in and they surround me
It's rainin' pain and thunderin' fright
In the neighborhood tonight
Here it comes back for more
There's something pounding at the door
There's something wrong and nothing right
There's no sign of hope in sight
In the neighborhood tonight
There's no sign of hope in sight
In the neighborhood tonight
