Nightmare In The Neighbourhood Lyrics - Pretty Maids

A roaring silence fills the city 

There's a sense of fear 

Only the stars are God's eyes 

And the moon glows so clear 

When your bets are off 

It's no pleasure cruise 

It takes all your guts 

To make it through 

Oh yeah 

Hear the cries of a woman 

A broken-hearted angle 

A shotgun rings out 

Set fire to the sky 

Lovers and gamblers 

Trying to make a score 

Lowlife adventures 

Crash a liquor store 

[Chorus] 

Nightmare in the neighbourhood 

Nasty little neighbours 

Nightmare in the neighbourhood 

Nightmare in the neighbourhood 

Nasty little neighbours 

Nightmare in the neighbourhood 

In the hour of darkness 

We're facing a moment of truth 

The world shows its anger 

Its pain and its lies 

Snowbirds and crackers 

Spaced out on dope 

Dance on the edge 

Of a six feet bungalow 

[Chorus] 

Trapped in this twisted place 

No one will hear your prayers 

it fills me with disgrace 

Got to get 

Got to get out of here 

There's a rumour on Main Street 

Some one shot the breeze 

A young kid had an O.D. 

In a shooting gallery 

[Chorus] 

I'm talking about neighbours
