I always lock the door, 'cause you never know for sure
Who your neighbors really are, real suspicious
I made my way outside in the California skies
But I couldn't feel the sunny disposition

Oh, bet you can imagine how I'm sinking

They were standing side by side
just like mugs along the shelf
With their glaze and overrise, they couldn't help it
And no matter how I try, I just couldn't feel alive
I just stepped right into line, they never felt it

Oh, bet you can imagine how I'm sinking
Oh, oh, when the signal's always busy, baby

But like Jane Doe and her John, all of us just carried on
I was looking for somebody who could shake me
Oh, I always lock the door 'cause you never know for sure
Who your neighbors really are, maybe they'll save me

Oh, bet you can imagine how I'm sinking
Oh, oh, when the signal's always busy, baby
