Repetition - TV On The Radio

Trouble ahead of its time

Is the fate of the fish washed up on shore

Do you know that he just won’t feel right

Till he’s swallowed up by the tide

Thought it might know better

Born into capital lifestyle heights

Got a head full of fever and it feels all right

Cause I shake my bottle and I suck my swill

And I love how I’m living cause I’ve got my fill

But I can’t stop thinking how it’s all gone wrong

And the cracks will be obvious before too long

I’ve abused my position and it cost my friends

And if the world keeps turning I could do it again

What’s the matter with your next-door neighbour

I heard he had sex, drugs and danger

You can kick it with a complete stranger

I think I hear him calling

What’s the matter with your next-door neighbour

An act of man, a freak of nature

You’ve been kicking with a complete stranger

I think I hear him calling

And the time on your hands is a walk in the park

If it don’t then I hope you can see in the dark (real hard)

Hail Mary, watch your life unfold

I’m a man on a mission or so I’ve been told

I can choose my victims, I could shed my skin

And if the world keeps turning I could do it again

But I can’t stop thinking that it’s all gone wrong

And the truth will be obvious before too long

I’ve abused my position and it cost my friends

If the world keeps turning I’mma do it again

What’s the matter with your next-door neighbour

I heard he had sex, drugs and danger

But you can kick it with a complete stranger

I think I hear him calling

What’s the matter with your next-door neighbour

An act of god, a freak of nature

You’ve been kicking with a complete stranger

I think the curtain’s falling down

We lock eyes and walk away unrecognised

We lock arms and spin
