The Academy Is... › Lyrics › Neighbors

I took a step back as the room was filling up
And I was packed against some people
Who were tossing up a strong vibe
Now the door's locked and the shower's on
And I realize I don't recognize anyone but I don't mind

Well, the neighbors have complained damn near every night
The neighbors have complained damn near every night

You shoulda shown up, shoulda shown up by now
You shoulda shown up by now
With a knock at the door
The knock at the door as it goes
Whoa, whoa

Well, now everybody's losing control

Intoxicated circulation
Just try to sit back, get my palette wet
Getting mentally prepared for the consequences
[Incomprehensible] you know why

Because that knock at the door calls the crowd to quiet
The neighbors have complained damn near every night

You shoulda shown up, shoulda shown up by now
You shoulda shown up by now
Give it a rest, give it a rest, give it a rest

You shoulda shown up, shoulda shown up by now
You shoulda shown up by now
With a knock at the door
The knock at the door as it goes
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa

There's no one left lying on the second story floorboards
And I'm sure they heard next door but the bottles are hollow now
And there's room at the bottom and I would take it back
If I could, but I won't

Sit back, get my palette wet
Getting mentally prepared for the consequences
[Incomprehensible] you know why

Because the neighbors have complained damn near every night
The neighbors have complained damn near every night

You shoulda shown up, shoulda shown up by now
You shoulda shown up by now
Give it a rest, give it a rest, give it a rest

You shoulda shown up, shoulda shown up by now
You shoulda shown up by now
With a knock at the door
The knock at the door as it goes
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
