Lost in the high street, where the dogs run
Roaming suburban boys
Mother's got a hairdo 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
Chorus:
Let's take a ride, and 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, the siren screams
There in the distance, like a roll call
Of all the suburban dreams
Chorus
I only wanted something else to do but hang around (x4)
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?
Chorus
Take a ride, and run with the dogs tonight
In Suburbia
You can't hide, run with the dogs tonight
In Suburbia
Run with the dogs tonight
In Suburbia
You can't hide
In Suburbia (x5)
