STRANGE NEIGHBORHOOD

Betty took me by the hand
Led me to some foreign land
Handed me the door keys then departed
Never to be seen again

Hicks and mutants shop downtown
Larry wears his evening gown
You can say you warned me but I know better
Mary try and understand

I learned to take the bad with the good
But someone should have warned me ‘bout this strange neighborhood

Well stranglers stop and say hello
Now I know why rent’s so low
You can say you warned me but I know better
Mary try and understand

I’d rather pitch a tent in the woods
Than have to face tomorrow in this strange neighborhood

I learned to take the bad with the good
But someone should have warned me ‘bout this strange neighborhood

Well, emerald lady holds a torch
Guiding foes to my front porch
You can say you warned me but I know better
Mary try and understand
Maybe someone has a plan
Mary come and take my hand
And we’ll leave for good, from this strange neighborhood
