Subdivisions Lyrics

Sprawling on the fringes of the city

In geometric order

An insulated border

In between the bright lights

and the far unlight 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



[chorus]

Subdivisions

In the high school halls

In the shopping malls

Conform or be cast out



Subdivisions

In the basement bars

In the backs of cars

Be cool or be cast out



Any escape might help to soothe

 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 see the living night



Some will sell their dreams for small desires

Or lose their race to rats

Get caught in ticking traps

And start to dream of somewhere

 to relax their restless nights

Somewhere out of the memory

 of lighted streets on quiet nights.



[chorus]
