Rush Lyrics

Subdivisions Lyrics

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

 

 [Chorus:]

 (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 to smooth 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...

 

 [Chorus]
