Captain Suburbia Lyrics

Caught a birth
Caught a funeral
Caught a wedding bell
I can walk a straight line in a dizzy spell
I'm screening my calls
I'm whitening my teeth
I've got a smile for every stranger that I meet
I can leap the tallest mortgage in a single bound
Hey now
Hey now
Look at me
I'm captain suburbia
I'm ligthting 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 not too young for anything anymore
I meet 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 living the dream
Now I can sleep through anything

Hey now (hey now) x4
Look at me
I'm captain suburbia
I'm blowing out 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
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) x4
Hey now x4
Look at me
I'm captain suburbia
Yeah, look at me, I'm captain suburbia
I'm captain suburbia x3
