Neighborhood Girls

"We had our
Neighborhood girl
She used to hang out
In front of McKinsey's Bar
And we were interested in her
and her clientele
We just wonder where she's gone..."
"Oh she's gone?"
"Yes, she's gone, gone, gone."
"I think you know your
Neighborhood girl
She lives on my street now
With eyes of ice
I've seen her in the morning
When she is walking in the sun
And I always thought
That she looked kind of nice
She spoke to me once
At a party, I think
And I thought at the time
That she had had too much to drink
because she said to me
`There's a backbone gone
And I've got to get it back
Before going on'
And your neighborhood girl
Seems to have resigned
She was looking out at people
From the back of her mind
And before she went off
She spoke to me again
She came up and said
`You have the eyes of a friend
And there's a razor's edge
That I have lost somewhere
And I would like it back
So if you've seen it anywhere...
I've been out for a while
But I'll be back in a bit
I am just walking through the smoke
Finding out if this is it
Because I've got this feeling
That things are going grey
And I'd like to hear a straight line
To help me find my way...'
I looked at her
And I did not know waht to say.
She had long black hair."
"Must be a different
Neighborhood girl
Cause ors had blonde hair
In front of McKinsey's Bar
And we were interested in her
And her clientele...
We just wonder where she's gone..."
"Oh she's gone?"
"Yes, she's gone, gone, gone."
