Lyrics

My neighbour's house is burning down And I cannot say why Ten million angry mouth-less tongues All lapping at the sky My neighbour's house is burning down And soon will mine be too For the wind is slowly turning And there is nothing I can do So I don't, do a thing I just stand there and grin Like I'm one of the idiots My neighbour's house is burning down I turn the other cheek Choose not to hear his cries of fear With masterful technique My neighbour's house is burning down And I wish that I could care Search for fellow feeling I find there's nothing there Just a sense, of relief That it's him, and not me Always one of the idiots If it proves to be some kind of test Can I say that I gave it my best? If my neighbour cannot be my friend Then we're both gonna burn in the end My neighbour's house is burning down My neighbour's house is burning down My neighbour's house is burning down My neighbour's house is burning down My neighbour's house is burning down My neighbour's house is burning down If it proves to be some kind of test Can I say that I gave it my best? If my neighbour cannot be my friend Then we're both gonna burn in the end
