Suburbia

So baby let me run away,

I'll make my own destiny;

Cause this town will murder us,

Forget your husband, and suburbia

When I was younger you said to me,

Love songs are for lovers,

And not for you;

So go and write the world the blues

So as I sit down with a pen in my hand,

A heart was killed and became a broken man,

And I knew,

I gotta get out of here too

The city lights are calling me,

And I am not afraid;

The streets are paved with heroes,

And they're calling out my name

So baby let me run away,

I'll make my own destiny;

Cause this town is killing me,

Silently,

And hopelessly tonight

And baby you can tell the same,

I'm the boy who got away,

Cause this town will murder us;

Forget your husband, and suburbia

When I was younger you said to me,

The white picket fence and a well-groomed man

Is right;

Now go and find yourself a wife

And in all of the cities in all of the world,

Will borrow the money and all of the girls

In the night;

Can I get her off my maze

The hull was cold and broken,

Like we're one step closer to God;

I live for words I've spoken,

And I hate them just because

So baby let me run away,

I'll make my own destiny;

Cause this town is killing me,

Silently,

And hopelessly tonight;

And baby you can tell the same,

I'm the boy who got away,

Cause this town will murder us;

Forget your husband, and suburbia

So baby let me run away,

I'll make my own destiny;

Cause this town is killing me,

Silently,

And hopelessly tonight

And baby you can tell the same,

I'm the boy who got away,

Cause this town will murder us;

Forget your husband, and suburbia

(Run away, run away)

Forget your husband, and suburbia

(Run away, run away)

Forget your husband, and suburbia
