[ Featuring
the Nightmares ]
Oh Leon shed his overcoat
Put his head into the wind
Felt the wind run up and down
Then he killed it with some gin
Oh he lived in the back of a beached Cadillac
Moon windows and power seats
His once hidden neighborhood
Is creeping up slow
And surroundin' me
Surroundin' me
Oh Sally bragged she was queen of the rags
Layered from head to toe
Paraded down the alleyway
And only pigeons knew for sure
Why her throne was a box
From an old Magnovox
'Cause it kept out the wind and sleet
Her once hidden kingdom
Is crumbling slow
And surroundin' me
Surroundin' me
Steam rises slow
From the sidewalk grates
Oh used to be I couldn't see
A diamond in the rough
Or listen to a tune that Frankie crooned
Without ever cracking up
But as Leon's headlights fade out of sight
It's easier to see
It's not what drove away
But what he left behind
That's surroundin' me
Surroundin' me
Steam rises slow
From the sidewalk grates
