she's the girl door
ya know, the girl next door
she doesn't live next door
but you drive all night to see her
she looks like a magazine
she plays like a slot machine
staring at the screen
watching myself lose it
and the words upon her shirt are so
strategically placed
it's a good excuse to gaze upon her face
oh god, send a thunderstorm
lit the scene up bright tonight
oh god, you're the one i blame
for even knowing her name tonight
you know her all too well
i know her all too well
she's like the liberty bell
she's been messed up for ages
we've memorized this scene
with the stick shift in between
then she leans and leans and leans
she holds me like a brother
but she doesn't know i know
she leans in like a lover
and it shows
oh god, send a thunderstorm
lit the scene up bright tonight
oh god, you're the one i blame
for even knowing her name tonight
oo oo oo oo
you know how the ending goes
i know how the ending goes
we'll either lose our clothes
or i'll be left to wonder
if i can love anymore
after the girl next door
i gotta tell her before
she meets the other neighbors
but not, you see it's a bit too late
she's walking through the gate
and i don't know why i wait
oh god, send a thunderstorm
lit the scene up bright tomorrow night
oh god, you're the one i blame
for even knowing her name tonight
oh god, you know these city lights
are this poor kids stars tonight
so god, leave them blinking on
for me to wish upon tonight
oo oo oo oo oo
