Roger Clyne & The Peacemakers - Captain Suburbia lyrics

Come a birth, come a funeral, come a wedding bell I don't walk a straight line in a dizzy spell I'm screening my calls, I'm whitening my teeth Now I got a smile for every stranger I meet And I can leap the tallest mortgage in a single bound Hey Now… Hey Now… Look at me… I'm Captain Suburbia I'm lightin' all the birthday candles in Utopia It's a bird, It's a plane, it's Captain Suburbia The weeds will grow, the grey will show, and my garage will overflow now Lucky me! I'm Captain Suburbia! I'm not too young for anything, anymore I see all my friends and neighbors at the liquor store I'm mechanically inclined, I'm blissfully insane I'm rescuing the sacred from the jaws of the mundane I'm livin' the dream now… I can sleep through anything Hey now… Hey now… Hey now… Hey now… Look at me… I'm Captain Suburbia I'm blowin' all the birthday candles in Utopia I'm a bird, I'm a plane, I'm Captain Suburbia The weeds will grow, the grey will show, and my garage will overflow now Lucky me! I'm Captain Suburbia! I'm tucking in the kids We're running out of beer And, "Honey, we need to talk…" Are the only words I fear… Hey now… Hey now… Hey now… Hey now… Hey now… Hey now… Hey now… Look at me… I'm Captain Suburbia Yeah look at me I'm Captain Suburbia I'm Captain Suburbia
