Lost in the high street, where the dogs run Roaming suburban boys Mother's got her 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 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! A siren screams There in the distance like a roll call Of all the suburban dreams Let's take a ride And run with the dogs tonight In suburbia You can't hide Run with the dogs tonight In suburbia I only wanted something else to do but hang around I only wanted something else to do but hang around Let's take a ride And run with the dogs tonight In suburbia You can't hide Run with the dogs tonight In suburbia 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? Let's take a ride And run with the dogs tonight In suburbia You can't hide Run with the dogs tonight In suburbia In suburbia In suburbia Run with the dogs tonight You can't hide Let's take a ride And run with the dogs tonight In suburbia You can't hide Run with the dogs tonight In suburbia
