Neighborhood #2 (Laïka)

1. Alexander, our older brother

set out for a great adventure

He tore our images out of his pictures

He scratched our names out of all his letters

R: Our mother shoulda

Just named you Laika

2. Come on Alex, you can do it

Come on Alex, there's nothin' to it

If you want somethin' don't ask for nothin

if you want nothin' don't ask for somethin'

R: Our mother shoulda

Just named you Laika!

It's for your own good

It's for the neighborhood!

The neighborhood

3. Our older brother bit by a Vampire

For a year we caught his tears in a cup

And now we're gonna make him drink it

Come on Alex don't die or dry up

R: Our mother shoulda

Just named you Laika!

It's for your own good

It's for the neighborhood!

the neighborhood!

*: When daddy comes home

you always start a fight

So the neighbors can dance

In the police disco lights

The police disco lights

Now the neighbors can dance!

Now the neighbors can dance!

Now the neighbors can dance!

Now the neighbors can dance!

Bm

Look at 'em dance
