The Suburbs

Really enjoying some slow back-Blipping at the moment, so this is the town that I grew up in, with a (sooc, except for colour removal afterward) shot taken to inspire... another musical interlude!


In the suburbs I
I learned to drive
And you told me we'd never survive
Grab your mother's keys we're leavin'

You always seemed so sure
That one day we'd be fighting
In a suburban war
Your part of town against mine - I saw you standing on the opposite shore
But by the time the first bombs fell - we were already bored
We were already, already bored

Sometimes I can't believe it, I'm movin' past the feeling
Sometimes I can't believe it, I'm movin' past the feeling again

Kids wanna be so hard
But in my dreams we're still screamin' and runnin' through the yard
And all of the walls that they built in the seventies finally fall
And all of the houses they built in the seventies finally fall
Meant nothin' at all
Meant nothin' at all - it meant nothin

Sometimes I can't believe it, I'm movin' past the feeling
Sometimes I can't believe it, I'm movin' past the feeling and into the night

So can you understand?
Why I want a daughter while I'm still young
I wanna hold her hand - and show her some beauty
Before all this damage is done
But if it's too much to ask, if it's too much to ask
Then send me a son

Under the overpass
In the parking lot we're still waiting - it's already past
So move your feet from hot pavement and into the grass
Cause it's already past - it's already, already past

Sometimes I can't believe it, I'm movin' past the feeling
Sometimes I can't believe it, I'm movin' past the feeling again

I'm movin' past the feeling
I'm movin' past the feeling

In my dreams we're still screamin'
We're still screamin'
We're still screamin'
