[VERSE 1]

Silent evening
   on a darkened street,
sky lit only
   by the moon and stars
of suburbia.
   Suburban night.

[VERSE 2]

The city seethes
   with a violent rage,
unending turmoil
   but there's peace here
in suburbia.
   Suburban night.

[CHORUS 1]

Suburban night,
   so still, so quiet.
So far removed
   from those city lights
and the craziness.
   Suburban night.

[VERSE 3]

Trees rustling
   in a gentle breeze,
I fill my lungs with the
   clean fresh air
of suburbia.
   Suburban night.

[VERSE 4]

A lonely plane
   like a shooting star,
quietly sails across
   the silent sky
of suburbia.
   Oh, suburban night.

[CHORUS 2]

Suburban night,
   so still, so quiet.
So far removed
   from those city lights
and the craziness.
   Suburban night.

[VERSE 5 (spoken)]

Cat slips by me in the dark,
   sinks into the underbrush,
scales its way upon a fence,
   and seeks refuge in a tree.

[VERSE 6 (spoken)]

So silent and surreal, [Suburbia]
   drifting through another world. [Suburbia]
Gazing deep into the sky, [Suburbia]
   soaring through the moonlit clouds. [Suburbia]

[BRIDGE 1]

Suburbia.
   The moonlit clouds.
Suburbia.
   Suburbia.

[CHORUS 3]

Suburban night,
   so still, so quiet.
So far removed
   from those city lights
and the craziness.
   Suburban night.

Suburban night,
   so still, so quiet.
So far removed
   from those city lights
and the craziness.
   Oh, Suburban night.

(soft)
Suburban night,
   so still, so quiet.
So far removed
   from those city lights
and the craziness.
   Oh, Suburban night.
