[Intro: Neil Tennant]
Suburbia, where the suburbs met utopia
Where the suburbs met utopia
[Verse 1: Neil Tennant]
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
[Chorus: Neil Tennant]
Let's take a ride and run with the dogs tonight
In suburbia
You can't hide, run with the dogs tonight
In suburbia
[Verse 2: Neil Tennant]
Break the window by the town hall
Listen, a siren screams
There in the distance like a roll call
Of all the suburban dreams
[Chorus: Neil Tennant]
Let's take a ride and run with the dogs tonight
In suburbia
You can't hide, run with the dogs tonight
In suburbia
[Bridge: Neil Tennant]
I only wanted something else to do but hang around
I only wanted something else to do but hang around
Hang around
[Verse 3: Neil Tennant]
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?
[Chorus: Neil Tennant]
Let's take a ride and run with the dogs tonight
In suburbia
You can't hide, run with the dogs tonight
In suburbia
[Chorus: Neil Tennant]
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
[Outro: Neil Tennant]
Run with the dogs tonight
You can't hide
Run with the dogs tonight
You can't hide
In suburbia
Suburbia, where the suburbs met utopia
Where the suburbs met utopia
[Verse 1: Neil Tennant]
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
[Chorus: Neil Tennant]
Let's take a ride and run with the dogs tonight
In suburbia
You can't hide, run with the dogs tonight
In suburbia
[Verse 2: Neil Tennant]
Break the window by the town hall
Listen, a siren screams
There in the distance like a roll call
Of all the suburban dreams
[Chorus: Neil Tennant]
Let's take a ride and run with the dogs tonight
In suburbia
You can't hide, run with the dogs tonight
In suburbia
[Bridge: Neil Tennant]
I only wanted something else to do but hang around
I only wanted something else to do but hang around
Hang around
[Verse 3: Neil Tennant]

In suburbia
You can't hide, run with the dogs tonight
In suburbia
[Chorus: Neil Tennant]
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
[Outro: Neil Tennant]
Run with the dogs tonight
You can't hide
Run with the dogs tonight
You can't hide
In suburbia
