Neighborhood Girls - Suzanne Vega

    "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
    Ours 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."
