[Lyric] Favorite Neighbor (Sleater-Kinney)

[Verse 1]
Well alright, your presence is a favor
You're loaning out your virtue
Like you're our favorite neighbour
Come on, try a little harder
Love to keep us guessing
Are you saint or are you martyr?

[Chorus]
My my, we shoulda seen it coming
Drownin' in the gold
And soakin' in the honey
Oh my, we didn't see it coming
Built ourselves a fortress
And now the walls are tumblin'

[Verse 2]
Now hold on, you're an overreacher
Doling out those lessons like you're our favorite teacher
And oh boy, keeping us a-learning
Putting out our fires
While your own house is burning
[Chorus]
My my, we shoulda seen it coming
Drownin' in the gold
And soakin' in the honey
Oh my, we didn't see it coming
Built ourselves a fortress
And now the walls are tumblin'

[Bridge]
Were we hoping to find it in a song?
Were we hoping to find it in a song?
Were we hoping to find it in a song?
Were we hoping to find it in a song?
Were we hoping to find it in a song?
Were we hoping to find it in a song?

[Verse 3]
Well alright, your presence is a favor
You're loaning out your virtue
Like you're our favorite neighbour
Come on, what is it you're screamin'?
Both of us are lyin'
And both of us are dreamin'

[Chorus]
My my, shoulda seen it coming
Drownin' in the gold
And soakin' in the honey
Oh my, we didn't see it coming
Built ourselves a fortress
And now our hands are bloody
My my, shoulda seen it coming
Drownin' in the gold
And soakin' in the honey
Oh my, we didn't see it coming
Built ourselves a fortress
And now the walls are tumblin'
