   F#
Sprawling on the fringes of the city
Bm           A
In geometric order
     Bm       A
An insulated border
Bm               A
In between the bright lights
         G     A     Bm   G A F#
And the far unlit unknown

  F#
Growing up it all seems so one-sided
  Bm             A
Opinions all provided
     Bm           A
The future pre-decided
  Bm               A
Detached and subdivided
        G       A       Bm
In the mass production zone
 G      A        Bm            G      A   Bm
Nowhere is the dreamer or the misfit so alone

Chorus:
G       A           Bm
In the high school halls
G        A      Bm
In the shopping malls
G           A      Bm
Conform or be cast out
G       A       Bm
In the basement bars
G       A        Bm
In the backs of cars
G           A      Bm
Be cool or be cast out
G                 A       Bm
Any escape might help to smooth
    A             Bm
The unattractive truth
 A       G                A        Bm
But the suburbs have no charms to soothe
     A                  Bm
The restless dreams of youth

Drawn like moths we drift into the city
The timeless old attraction
Cruising for the action
Lit up like a firefly
Just to feel the living night

Some will sell their dreams for small desires
Or lose the race to rats
Get caught in ticking traps
And start to dream of somewhere
To relax their restless flight
Somewhere out of a memory
Of lighted streets on quiet nights

Chorus:
Ihe high school halls
In the shopping malls
Conform or be cast out
Ihe basement bars
In the backs of cars
Be cool or be cast out
Any escape might help to smooth
The unattractive truth
But the suburbs have no charms to soothe
The restless dreams of youth
