Back when the shadows looked like rats Smokes were the only thing we had Clouds of this toxic dust Drifted from underneath the wooden slats Stars as bleak as a war Pouring into the corridors Lost in a battlefield of white Watch suburbia burn in the night Watch suburbia burn in the night Watch suburbia burn in the night In the night, in the night Alright The bones of a school were beginning to show Watching the dark come on Floating like drops of water on leaves Watch suburbia burning, burning And the things passing by our car Are starting to melt and I thought, I thought Maybe you like me, I thought, I was wrong, I was wrong, I was wrong, I was wrong Watch suburbia burn in the sun Watch suburbia burn in the sun Burn in the sun Yeah, burn in the sun Watching suburbia burn in the sun
