Suburbs - The Narrative

Two dumb kids

In a hot car

They’re saying «where we gonna go?

We don’t know but it’s gonna be

It’s gonna be real far»

One of them’s saying that he’s gonna be a big shot

He’s gonna be a millionaire

The other one’s gonna get married

Buy a house in the suburbs

And take it from there

Two dumb kids

In a hot car

I used to think

That I could be

A big star

Well lately I am thinking

I’d like to be a millionaire

Or married out in a real nice house

In the suburbs

Anywhere…

And now I am very scared

And I am very scared

And I am very scared

And I am very scared

So I dig out holes in the floor

I’ve done this twice before

I wish it helped me sleep

But now the place looks terrible

And I can never leave

There’s no place to put my feet

I know a girl out on Long Island

While she works she’s always smiling

'cause she knows she might as well

But it isn’t where her heart is

And she’s gonna be an artist

Just as soon…

Just as soon as something sells

And if you see her in the summer

She might look a little younger

'cause her skin

I said her skin gets pretty tan

But if you wanna take her home

You better really be alone

Because she’ll

She’ll clean you right out, man

She’ll clean you right out, man

And I am very scared

(she'll clean you right out, man)

And I am very scared

(she'll clean you right out, man)

And I am very scared

(she'll clean you right out, man)

And I am very scared

(she'll clean you right out, man)
