He hoped to be remembered as the one
Who told his men to turn back
And go where we'd begun
Roses are the flower he would prefer
Scatter all his ashes on the pier

Genova Heights
Genova Heights
Are hard to leave
Are hard to leave
The bedroom lights
Of Genova Heights
Are hard to leave
Are hard to leave

You did wrong that you thought was good
Now you're back in the neighborhood
I see you and I never should
Now you're back in the neighborhood

You, you did wrong what you thought was good
And now you're back in the neighborhood
I always see you when I never should
Now you're back, now you're back in the neighborhood

He taps upon the glass when I'm asleep
So now I keep my window closed at night
SOS in morse code when the wind blows
He is waiting for his moment to be right

Genova Heights
Genova Heights
Are hard to leave
Are hard to leave
The endless nights
Of Genova Heights
Are hard to leave
So hard to leave

You did wrong what you thought was good
Now you're back in the neighborhood
I always see you when I never should
Now you're back in the neighborhood

You did wrong what you thought was good
Now you're back in the neighborhood
I always see you when I never should
Now you're back, now you're back in the neighborhood
