We need to practice, take my city's back streets
There's plenty to see there only if you care
Behind the thrifts and the mega pawn king
Behind the checks cashed here
If you're hungry you're in luck since the border's wide open
If you're tired there's a park only if you dare
Behind the thrifts and the mega pawn king
Behind the checks cashed here
Your declining neighborhood looks beautiful the way it should
Wouldn't change it at all, wouldn't make it look new
Oh...
There's the LDS church built in 1927
I once knew someone who was banned from there
Behind the thrifts and the shadeless day laborer
Behind the checks cashed here
So come along with me 'cause you'll miss it on your own
Graffiti art competes with muralists
Behind the thrifts and the mega pawn king
Where everything's ninety-nine cents
(Hey!)
Your declining neighborhood looks beautiful the way it should
Wouldn't change you at all, wouldn't make you brand new
The metal cross on the wooden door protects the home not me anymore
I always look to see if it's been moved
Your declining neighborhood
Your declining neighborhood
Don't forget it, but don't relive it
Don't get sucked back pulling out of this town
There are places I won't revisit
If I don't miss 'em, they're fine without me around
(Hey!)
Don't forget it, don't relive it
Don't remember, don't regret it
There are places I won't revisit around
Don't resist it, don't resent it
Don't remember, don't forget it
There are places that are fine without me around
(And round and round and round)
(Woo!)
There's plenty to see there only if you care
Behind the thrifts and the mega pawn king
Behind the checks cashed here
If you're hungry you're in luck since the border's wide open
If you're tired there's a park only if you dare
Behind the thrifts and the mega pawn king
Behind the checks cashed here
Your declining neighborhood looks beautiful the way it should
Wouldn't change it at all, wouldn't make it look new
Oh...
There's the LDS church built in 1927
I once knew someone who was banned from there
Behind the thrifts and the shadeless day laborer
Behind the checks cashed here
So come along with me 'cause you'll miss it on your own

Where everything's ninety-nine cents

Wouldn't change you at all, wouldn't make you brand new

Your declining neighborhood

(And round and round and round)
(Woo!)
