aKing- Love Your Neighbour Lyrics

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
