suburbia is wrought with the undreamed, 

and a telephone wire you use to sew, 

but still ensnares a dangerous esteem 

bellies full, bent backwards, stained with green. 

we’ll flirt with this unruly tempo 

that suburbia leaves you wrought with, that undreamed 

call up a distant cousin of the academe 

those friends that taught you how to borrow 

and ensnare a dangerous esteem 

my yard, led by student council regime 

destined for playground overthrow. 

suburbia is wrought with that undreamed 

a gaudy fog of mellow steam, 

the trap i left to cage a crow 

but ensnared a dangerous esteem 

breaking waves of asphalt bream 

sure, it’s easy to see in this dayglow 

that suburbia is wrought with the undreamed 

but ensnares a dangerous esteem
