Subdivisions - Live in Cleveland

Sprawling on the fringes of the city
 In geometric order
 An insulated border
 In between the bright lights
 And the far unlit unknown
 Growing up it all seems so one-sided
 Opinions all provided
 The future pre-decided
 Detached and subdivided
 In the mass production zone
 Nowhere is the dreamer
 Or the misfit so alone
 Subdivisions -
 In the high school halls
 In the shopping malls
 Conform or be cast out
 Subdivisions -
 In the basement bars
 In the backs of cars
 Be cool or be cast out
 Any escape might help disprove
 The unattractive truth
 But the suburbs have no charms to soothe
 The restless dreams of youth
 Drawn like moths we drift into the city
 The timeless old attraction
 Cruising for the action
 Lit up like a firefly
 Just to feel the living night
 Some will sell their dreams for small desires
 Or lose the race to rats
 Get caught in ticking traps
 And start to dream of somewhere
 To relax their restless flight
 Somewhere out of a memory
 Of lighted streets on quiet nights...
