HEARD THE NEIGHBOR SLAM HIS CAR DOOR
DON'T HE REALIZE THIS IS RESPECTABLE STREET
WHAT D'YOU THINK HE BOUGHT THAT CAR FOR
'CAUSE HE REALIZE THIS IS RESPECTABLE STREET
NOW THEY TALK ABOUT ABSORPTION
IN COSMOPOLITAN PROPORTIONS TO THEIR DAUGHTERS
AS THEY SPEAK OF CHILD PREVENTION
AND IMMACULATE RECEPTIONS ON THEIR PORTABLE
SONY ENTERTAINMENT CENTERS
HEARD THE NEIGHBOR SLAM HIS CAR DOOR
DON'T HE REALIZE THIS IS RESPECTABLE STREET
WHAT D'YOU THINK HE BOUGHT THAT CAR FOR
DON'T HE REALIZE THIS IS RESPECTABLE STREET
NOW SHE SPEAKS ABOUT DISEASES
AND WHICH PROPOSITION PLEASES BEST HER OLD MAN
AVON LADY FILLS THE CREASES
WHEN SHE MANAGES TO SQUEEZE IN PAST THE CARAVANS
THAT NEVER MOVE FROM THEIR FRONT GARDENS
HEARD THE NEIGHBOR SLAM HIS CAR DOOR
DON'T HE REALIZE THIS IS RESPECTABLE STREET
WHAT D'YOU THINK HE BOUGHT THAT CAR FOR
DON'T HE REALIZE THIS IS RESPECTABLE STREET
IT'S IN THE ORDER OF THEIR HEDGEROWS
IT'S IN THE WAY THEIR CURTAINS OPEN AND CLOSE
IT'S IN THE LOOK THEY GIVE YOU DOWN THEIR NOSE
ALL PART OF DECENCY'S JIGSAW I SUPPOSE
SUNDAY CHURCH AND THEY LOOK FETCHING
SATURDAY NIGHT SAW HIM STRETCHING OVER OUR FENCE
BANG THE WALL FOR ME TO TURN DOWN
I CAN SEE THEM WITH THEIR STERN FROWN
AS THEY DISPENSE THE KIND OF LOOK THAT SAYS
THEY'RE PERFECT
HEARD MY NEIGHBOR SLAM HIS CAR DOOR
DON'T HE REALIZE THIS IS RESPECTABLE STREET
WHAT D'YOU THINK HE BOUGHT THAT CAR FOR
DON'T HE REALIZE THIS IS RESPECTABLE STREET
HE REALIZE THIS IS RESPECTABLE STREET
HE REALIZE THIS IS RESPECTABLE STREET
HE REALIZE THIS IS RESPECTABLE STREET

WHEN YOU'RE NEAR ME I HAVE DIFFICULTY RESPIRATING
WHEN YOU'RE NEAR ME I HAVE DIFFICULTY CONCENTRATING
WHEN YOU'RE NEAR ME I HAVE DIFFICULTY STANDING UPRIGHT
WHEN YOU'RE NEAR ME I HAVE DIFFICULTY SLEEPING AT NIGHT
I USED TO STAND PROUD LIKE A SPHINX
IN A NOBLE IMMOVABLE STATE
THEN YOUR HEART NAILED ME UNDER A JINX
NOW I'M FEELING LIKE A JELLYFISH
JUST A SPINELESS WOBBLY JELLYFISH
AND IT'S GREAT, GREAT, SO GREAT
WHEN YOU'RE NEAR ME I HAVE DIFFICULTY RESPIRATING
WHEN YOU'RE NEAR ME I HAVE DIFFICULTY CONCENTRATING
WHEN YOU'RE NEAR ME I HAVE DIFFICULTY STANDING UPRIGHT
WHEN YOU'RE NEAR ME I HAVE DIFFICULTY SLEEPING AT NIGHT
I USED TO STAND HIGH LIKE A PINE
JUST A PIECE OF EMOTIONLESS WOOD
WHEN YOU PUT YOUR BODY NEAR MINE
NOW I'M FEELING LIKE A JELLYFISH
JUST A SPINELESS WOBBLY JELLYFISH
AND IT'S GOOD, GOOD, SO GOOD
I USED TO BE AN ICEMAN
LIVING IN ICEMAN TOWN
SO I'M WARNING ALL YOU COOL, COOL ICEMEN
YOU'D BETTER BE PREPARED TO BE MELTED RIGHT DOWN, DOWN
WHEN YOU'RE NEAR ME I HAVE DIFFICULTY RESPIRATING
WHEN YOU'RE NEAR ME I HAVE DIFFICULTY CONCENTRATING
WHEN YOU'RE NEAR ME I HAVE DIFFICULTY STANDING UPRIGHT
WHEN YOU'RE NEAR ME I HAVE DIFFICULTY SLEEPING AT NIGHT
WHEN YOU'RE NEAR ME I HAVE DIFFICULTY
WHEN YOU'RE NEAR ME I HAVE DIFFICULTY
WHEN YOU'RE NEAR ME I HAVE DIFFICULTY
WHEN YOU'RE NEAR ME I HAVE DIFFICULTY
WHEN YOU'RE NEAR ME I HAVE DIFFICULTY
WHEN YOU'RE NEAR ME I HAVE DIFFICULTY
WHEN YOU'RE NEAR ME I HAVE DIFFICULTY
WHEN YOU'RE NEAR ME I HAVE DIFFICULTY
WHEN YOU'RE NEAR ME I HAVE DIFFICULTY
WHEN YOU'RE NEAR ME I HAVE DIFFICULTY
WHEN YOU'RE NEAR ME I HAVE DIFFICULTY
WHEN YOU'RE NEAR ME I HAVE DIFFICULTY
WHEN YOU'RE NEAR ME I HAVE DIFFICULTY
WHEN YOU'RE NEAR ME I HAVE DIFFICULTY
WHEN YOU'RE NEAR ME I HAVE DIFFICULTY
WHEN YOU'RE NEAR ME I HAVE DIFFICULTY
WHEN YOU'RE NEAR ME I HAVE DIFFICULTY
WHEN YOU'RE NEAR ME
