la la la la   la la la la      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      la la la la   la la la la      (Talking:)   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.
