The Girl Next Door

she's the girl door

ya know, the girl next door

she doesn't live next door

but you drive all night to see her

she looks like a magazine

she plays like a slot machine

staring at the screen

watching myself lose it

and the words upon her shirt are so

strategically placed

it's a good excuse to gaze upon her face

oh god, send a thunderstorm

lit the scene up bright tonight

oh god, you're the one i blame

for even knowing her name tonight

you know her all too well

i know her all too well

she's like the liberty bell

she's been messed up for ages

we've memorized this scene

with the stick shift in between

then she leans and leans and leans

she holds me like a brother

but she doesn't know i know

she leans in like a lover

and it shows

oh god, send a thunderstorm

lit the scene up bright tonight

oh god, you're the one i blame

for even knowing her name tonight

oo oo oo oo

you know how the ending goes

i know how the ending goes

we'll either lose our clothes

or i'll be left to wonder

if i can love anymore

after the girl next door

i gotta tell her before

she meets the other neighbors

but not, you see it's a bit too late

she's walking through the gate

and i don't know why i wait

oh god, send a thunderstorm

lit the scene up bright tomorrow night

oh god, you're the one i blame

for even knowing her name tonight

oh god, you know these city lights

are this poor kids stars tonight

so god, leave them blinking on

for me to wish upon tonight

oo oo oo oo oo
