Suburbia (Pet Shop Boys)

Lost in the high street where the dogs run, roamng Suburbia boys.
Mother's got her hair do to be done, she says they're too old for toys.
Stood by the bus stop with a felt pen in this Suburban hell.
And in the distance, a police car to break the Suburban spell.

Let's take a ride, run with the dogs tonight in Suburbia.
You can't hide, run with the dogs tonight in Suburbia.
Break the window by the town hall, listen: a siren screams.
There in the distance, like a roll call of all the Suburban dreams.

Let's take a ride, run with the dogs tonight in Suburbia.
You can't hide, run with the dogs tonight in Suburbia.
I only wanted something else to do but hang around.
I only wanted something else to do but hang around.

It's on the front page of the papers, this is their hour of need.
Where's a policeman when you need one to blame the colour TV.
Let's take a ride, run with the dogs tonight in Suburbia.
You can't hide, run with the dogs tonight in Suburbia -
In Suburbia, in Suburbia!
Run with the dogs tonight - you can't hide -
Run with the dogs tonight - you can't hide - in Suburbia.
