I got stuck Caught in the muck Not a soul in sight Then a bird flew bye And I caught his eye He stopped to set me right He spoke real soft & he cleaned me off Like a magic wand Said there’s games you play A certain way Out on the pond So I sat down All the ducks in rounds All the swans estranged Hopin I’d get tapped Then my cricket snapped And my whole life changed I’m Big Bang I’m right around the corner I’m workin on critical mass The wire inside the lightbulb’s hummin It’s heating up the glass I’m cleanin out the attic now, I’ve found all my excuses And I’ve come outside to string em up like Duck Duck Duck Gooses Maybe you got picked Maybe you’re the goose The reddest of the roost All your ducks in rows But you’re all alone You’re a saxaphone and the Whole world blows I’m Big Bang I’m right around the corner I’m workin on critical mass The wire inside the lightbulb’s hummin It’s heating up the glass I’m cleanin out the attic now, I’ve found all my excuses And I’ve come outside to string em up like Duck Duck Duck Gooses Well there’s paths you take Then there’s paths you make Yourself Which one Here he comes Duck Duck Duck Duck… Goose! Goose! I’m Big Bang I’m right around the corner I’m workin on critical mass The wire inside the lightbulb’s hummin It’s heating up the glass I’m cleanin out the attic now, I’ve found all my excuses And I’ve come outside to string em up like Duck Duck Duck Gooses

Santiago ain’t got money Got no honey Might sound funny but it’s true But there’s five or six old ladies Holdin babies In the counties he’s passed through Girls say he’s got a gift Women say that he’s a drifter And all the men just know He had to go down Play them Dirty Bluz He had to go down He had to go down Play them Dirty Bluz He had to go down Wednesday nights he gets his fix Down on sixth He picks and scratch like hell All the people tap their foot and Melt like puddin But he’s still lookin they can’t tell Girls say he’s got a gift Women say that he’s a drifter And all the men just know He had to go down Play them Dirty Bluz He had to go down He had to go down Play them Dirty Bluz He had to go down Santi dissapeared one night Just like he always does Three sheets to the wind they say But for Santi that’s just buzzed Found him on the high way 16 miles outside town Wrapped his car around a tree No brake marks on the ground Girls say he had a gift Women say he was a drifter And all the men just know He had to go down Play them Dirty Bluz He had to go down He had to go down Play them Dirty Bluz He had to go down

You knew the rocks at every pass You knew the flowers, you knew the grass You even knew that I would ask What trails and runs you like to take And may I walk them in your wake It wouldn’t be much room to make And so you granted me a place On Your Mountain And I kept up as best I could But the more I climbed, the higher you stood And I saw the forest for the wood Soon it all turned black and white I shouted left, you shouted right And you left one morning at first light And I was stranded on the face Of Your Mountain You have your own great heights to climb But I’ll always think of you as mine And if you look back you will find That I’ll be standing at the base And I will stay here, just in case You ever need my help to face Your Mountain

Doubt stopped to rest on my shoulder But he got comfortable there He had time to spare And I was too weak to care So he moved in Now spite and envy They call me They’re friendly Say they’d be happy To drop by The Neighborhood There Goes the Neighborhood Look who moved in Now hate bought the house that trust lived in He says he won’t bite But he tries to pick fights And I’m scared that he might Hurt someone in The Neighborhood There Goes the Neighborhood Look who moved in They’re singing their lies and I can’t fall asleep It’s getting to where It’s starting to Wear me down Fear around here he’s respected Well connected Protected And he got elected To run The Neighborhood There Goes the Neighborhood Look who moved in
