Hell A - The Suburbs

A person can get into some strange affairs

Trying to survive in this city, you know

But you gotta eat, and I guess you just get cold

Don’t even know the people you associate with really

Oh, the world is wide but people are so much the same

A feature altered here and there and there you stand

You’re in New York, you’re in Salt Lake, you’re in Hell A

Miles of desert separate you, and miles of sea

Ah, the sea!

Where whales and sharks roam and no man lives

And where are you?

Not home, and that’s for sure.

But why?

Everybody, when I sing this song

Must dance

Girl, it’s a rough life

You better find some friends

Of the right type

«Lip to lip, you do to please

Now turn your face and catch it on cheek

Then skin to skin, pop!

it’s in

(you're not a virgin)

They offer money for a good feeling then no marriage!

(you're not a virgin)

We are all virgins

69 Billy Club law to ticket number

Love is a Hallmark card store present

Surprise!

Gift, paper ribbon on the holidays

Like seasons greetings, merry holidays

Merry Labor Day, merry Halloween

Or tricks thumb tack dipped in ca ca» *

Everybody, when I sing this song

Must dance

A dream fell this side of paradise

A girl

Was she too beautiful?

Pour that drink right down the sink

Don’t get down, get rowdy

Like L.A.'s busiest cowboy

Drown and sink he’s on the brink

The stud well hung lost his shootin' gun

It’s shriveled up with heroin

The hero’s done up in drag tonight

And the girls just want to fight fight fight

Everybody, when I sing this song

Must dance

The fire at my back

Yeah, it did me well

A token laugh

Was it too musical?
