Neighbors
Something For Rockets Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The cold it feels all right
Standing on the corner of the lower damp east side
I just felt you all night
Where do I go from here
Buzzing
And running on empty
To my people out all night
We do this
Don't we own this city right?
But I need something else
Something that's not myself
Out here in front of everyone
I want to wake up all the neighbors
I hope they come and save us
Because we get it on
Were getting it on getting it on
Called you from my cell
4:30 should work well
Cause if your up
And I'm up
We should get together
Baby that's all right
I'll be there in five
Alone and empty
I want to wake up all the neighbors
I hope they come and save us
Because we get it on
Were getting it on getting it on
Won't you sing this with me
Everybody move tonight
I'm the man to treat you right
Wont you sing this with me
Gona make your body move tonight
Cause I'm the man to treat you right
I want to wake up all the neighbors
I hope they come and save us
Because we get it on
Were getting it on getting it on

Just stepped out tonight
I just went out tonight
The cold it feels all right
I don't mind the cold temperature
Standing on the corner of the lower damp east side
I'm standing on the corner of the downtown area
I just felt you all night
I thought about you all night long
Where do I go from here
I'm not sure what to do next
Buzzing
I feel energized
And running on empty
But at the same time, I feel like I have nothing left in me
I could take this ride
I could go hang out with my friends who are out all night
To my people out all night
To my friends who are out all night
We do this
We hang out all night
Don't we own this city right?
We are the city's nightlife
But I need something else
But I'm looking for something different
Something that's not myself
Something that's not just about me
Out here in front of everyone
I want to be seen by everyone
I want to wake up all the neighbors
I want to make a big impression on everyone around me
I hope they come and save us
I hope they will be impressed and come to join us
Because we get it on
Because we are having a good time
Were getting it on getting it on
We are really enjoying ourselves
Called you from my cell
I called you from my cell phone
4:30 should work well
Let's meet at 4:30
Cause if your up / And I'm up / We should get together
Because we are both awake, we should hang out
Baby that's all right
That's okay with me
I'll be there in five
I'll be there in five minutes
Alone and empty
But I'm feeling lonely and empty inside
Won't you sing this with me
Sing this song with me
Everybody move tonight
Let's dance tonight
I'm the man to treat you right
I'm the person who can show you a good time
Gona make your body move tonight
I will make you dance tonight
I want to wake up all the neighbors
I want to impress everyone around us
I hope they come and save us
I hope they join us
Because we get it on
Because we are having fun
Were getting it on getting it on
We are really enjoying ourselves
