Neighbors

by Daniel Errico

When I go to bed, I just lay down my head

On a bed goes my head, when I lay down for bed

In a room sits my bed, with four legs on the floor

On a bed in a room with a floor and a door

A door with a lock to a house that’s my home

A home with a door to the street where I roam

A bed in a room in a house on my street

In a house with a floor for my bed where I sleep

A room in my house in a town, on my block

In my town at my house is the door with a lock

On my street, here on the Earth, in the center of town

On top of the Earth that is spinning us round

On the Earth in my house with four legs on the floor

On my bed, in our galaxy, with a front door

In the Milky Way galaxy, down on my block

In the house with four legs, and a door with a lock

On the Earth, in the Universe, I lay my head

On a street in my town with a room and a bed

And somewhere out there is your very own street

In a room with a floor and a bed with four feet
