Nightmare In The Neighbourhood lyrics

PLAY PRETTY MAIDS Nightmare In The Neighbourhood video A roaring silence fills the city

There`s a sense of fear

Only the stars are God`s eyes

And the moon glows so clear

When your bets are off

It`s no pleasure cruise

It takes all your guts

To make it through

Oh yeah



Hear the cries of a woman

A broken-hearted angle

A shotgun rings out

Set fire to the sky



Lovers and gamblers

Trying to make a score

Lowlife adventures

Crash a liquor store



[Chorus]

Nightmare in the neighbourhood

Nasty little neighbours

Nightmare in the neighbourhood

Nightmare in the neighbourhood

Nasty little neighbours

Nightmare in the neighbourhood



In the hour of darkness

We`re facing a moment of truth

The world shows its anger

Its pain and its lies



Snowbirds and crackers

Spaced out on dope

Dance on the edge

Of a six feet bungalow



[Chorus]



Trapped in this twisted place

No one will hear your prayers

it fills me with disgrace

Got to get

Got to get out of here



There`s a rumour on Main Street

Some one shot the breeze

A young kid had an O.D.

In a shooting gallery



[Chorus]



I`m talking about neighbours
