Roger Clyne and The Peacemakers
"Captain Suburbia"

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
