Lost in the high street, where the dogs run
Roaming suburban boys
Mother's got her hairdo to be done
She says they're too old for toys

Stood by the bus stop with a felt pen
In this suburban hell
And in the distance a police car
To break the suburban spell

Let's take a ride
And run with the dogs tonight
In suburbia
You can't hide
Run with the dogs tonight
In suburbia

Break the window by the town hall
Listen, a siren screams
There in the distance like a roll call
Of all the suburban dreams

Let's take a ride
And run with the dogs tonight
In suburbia
You can't hide
Run with the dogs tonight
In suburbia

I only wanted something else to do but hang around
I only wanted something else to do but hang around
Hang around

It's on the front page of the papers
This Is Their Hour of Need
Where's a policeman when you need one
To blame the color TV?

Let's take a ride
And run with the dogs tonight
In suburbia
You can't hide

Run with the dogs tonight
In suburbia
Take a ride
And run with the dogs tonight

In suburbia
You can't hide
Run with the dogs tonight
In suburbia
