There Goes the Neighborhood

Hey, let's party, let's get down

Let's turn the radio on

This is the meltdown

Get out the camera, take a picture

The drag queens and the freaks are all out on the town

And Cowboy Jane's in bed

Nursing a swollen head

Sunshine Sally and Peter Ustanov

Don't like the scene anyhow

I dropped acid on a Saturday night

Just to see what the fuss was about

Now there goes the neighborhood

The photo chick made to look sickly

Is standing in her panties in the shower

She plays the guitar in the bathroom

While the police dust her mother's plastic flowers

And Schoolboy John's in jail

Making a killing through the U.S. mail

Sunshine Sally and Peter Ustanov

Don't like the scene anyhow

I dropped acid on a Saturday night

Just to see what the fuss was about

Well, there goes the neighborhood

Neighborhood

Now there goes the neighborhood

This is the movie of the screenplay of the book

About a girl who meets a junkie

The messenger gets shot down just for carrying the message to a flunky

We can't be certain who the villains are 'cause everyone's so pretty

But the afterparty's sure to be a wing-ding as it moves into your city, oh

Sunshine Sally and Peter Ustanov

Don't like the scene anyhow

I dropped acid on a Saturday night

Just to see what the stink was about

Sunshine Sally and Peter Ustanov

Don't like the scene anyhow

I dropped acid on a Saturday night

Just to see what the fuss was about

Now there goes the neighborhood

Now there goes the neighborhood
