Neighbors

I always lock the door, 'cause you never know for sure
Who your neighbors really are, I was suspicious
I made my way outside in the California skies
But I couldn’t feel the sunny disposition
Oh, bet you can imagine how I’m sinking
They were standing side by side, just like mugs along the shelf
With their glazing-over eyes, they couldn’t help it
And no matter how I tried, I just couldn’t feel alive
I just stepped right into line, they never felt it
Oh, bet you can imagine how I’m sinking
Oh, oh, when the signal’s always busy, baby
But like Jane Doe and her John, all of us just carried on
I was looking for somebody who could shake me
Oh, I always lock the door 'cause you never know for sure
Who your neighbors really are, maybe they’ll save me
Oh, bet you can imagine how I’m sinking
Oh, oh, when the signal’s always busy, baby
I’m still reeling here, maybe some sign will appear
I guess I hope it comes
It’s like I’m twiddling my thumbs, sometimes I can’t believe
I get so numb
You think I would’ve figured it out by now
You’re not the only one
Oh, bet you can imagine how I’m sinking
Oh, oh, when the signal’s always busy, baby
Oh, won’t somebody shake me?
Oh, oh, signal’s loud, but it’s still busy, baby
