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.
