Karaoké Subdivisions Rush

Sprawling on the fringes of the city in geometric order

An insulated border in between the bright lights

And the far unlit unknown

Growing up it all seems so one-sided opinions all provided

The future pre-decided detached and subdivided in the mass production zone

Nowhere is the dreamer or the misfit so alone

In the high school halls in the shopping malls conform or be cast out

In the basement bars in the backs of cars be cool or be cast out

Any escape might help to smooth the unattractive truth

But the suburbs have no charms to soothe

The restless dreams of youth

Drawn like moths we drift into the city the timeless old attraction

Cruising for the action lit up like a firefly just to feel the living night

Well some will sell their dreams

For small desires or lose the race to rats

Get caught in ticking traps and start to dream

Of somewhere to relax their restless flight

Somewhere out of a memory of lighted streets on quiet nights

In the high school halls in the shopping malls conform or be cast out

In the basement bars in the backs of cars be cool or be cast out

Any escape might help to smooth the unattractive truth

But the suburbs have no charms to soothe

The restless dreams of youth
