Lyrics

Suburbia

Hours turn into days
Time keeps ticking away
Days turn into years
Until one day the lights go out

Caught up in the machine
Living in the city
Everyone that you meet
Will tell you it’s the place to be

Walk alone down empty streets
Far from the lights on Broadway
Find a seat in a quiet restaurant
Safe in the arms of suburbia

Everything you need
Is just around the corner
Only minutes away
From the subway station
Your escape

The grass is always greener
On the other side
Wouldn’t you like to find out
Just what it’s like over there
In suburbia
