Blue sky, holding us down
Theres no whine, only the sound of
Happy tv land
Cue the canned applause
Side walk, fall through the cracks to china
Never get back
I'm nothing in these blues
with laceless velcrow shoes

There used to be a reason why
We wrote the words across the sky
You and I will never die without a fight
My suburban muse

la la la la
la la la la

Green grass, towering high
This white house
In it we'll die
A thousand tiny lies
Take the place of you

I see it too
In all the things you do
It lives inside of you
A parasite or two

There used to be a reason why
We wrote the words across the sky
You and I will never die without a fight
My suburban muse

I'm the king of ordinary things
It's killing me from inside out
I'll give it away

la la la la
la la la la

There used to be the reason why
We wrote the words across the sky
You and I will never die without a fight
My suburban muse

Theres rain and cars and dusty streets
The culdesac is where we meet
I crunsh the leaves beneath my feet
And curse this town
My suburban muse

Her senior year she joined jounior statesman club
And worked hard as a member of the ramettes.
Each of these girls was deserving
Of the honor of Prom Queen.
