On My Block

(album: Before Hollywood - 1983)

All right
Come on
N-n-n-now

The main gate to the mansion is locked
It's on my street on my block
I went in but I got chased off

The store-keeper said 'why don't the cars stop?'
But the mansion's not the attraction it once was
And it's on my, on my, on my...

On my block
On my block

Girl, I've been called names times before
It happens cause it happens here
And nobody said they'd ever hear

The garden is unkept and in bloom
There is wilderness and flowers in my room
The caretakers kept to be fired soon

On my block
On my block

Girl, I've been called names times before
It happens cause it happens here
And nobody said they'd ever hear

The maingate the mansion is locked
I'm standing on the spot
And it's on my, oh my my...

On my block
On my block

Girl, I've been called names times before
It happens cause it happens here
And nobody said they'd ever hear
...
