my neighbor - Tune-Yards

Ooh, let me love, let me love, let me love, let me love

Ooh, let me love, let me love, let me love, let me love

Ooh, let me love, let me love, let me love, let me love

Ooh, let me love, let me love, let me love, let me love

My neighbor held the key to my survival

The loneliest woman I ever saw

Her death around the corner

Her children screaming at her

Pounding fists upon her rotting wooden floor

My neighbor held the key to my survival

I made sure to lock the door

Ooh, let me love, let me love, let me love, let me love

Ooh, let me love, let me love, let me love, let me love

Ooh, let me love, let me love, let me love, let me love

Ooh, let me love, let me love, let me love, let me love

My enemy held the key to my survival

But my envy overtook my brain

I saw her doubled over

And recognized myself and said

«Perhaps I’ll quit besmirching her name»

Oh, my enemy held the key to my survival

And I killed her all the same

Time, it’s time, it’s time, it’s time

Time, it’s time, it’s time, it’s time

My neighbor held the key to my survival

The garbage truck kept passing her by

Another week full of trash

She folds herself exactly in half

Ooh, let me love, let me love, let me love, let me love

Ooh, let me love, let me love, let me love, let me love

Ooh, let me love, let me love, let me love, let me love

Ooh, let me love, let me love, let me love, let me love
