[Verse 1]
Blue sky holding us down
There's no why
Only the sound of happy TV land
Cue the canned applause

[Verse 2]
Sidewalk fall through the cracks to China
Never get back
I'm nothing in these blues and laceless Velcro shoes

[Chorus]
There used to be a reason why
We wrote the words across the sky
You and I will never die without a fight
My suburban muse

[Verse 3]
Green grass towering high
This white house, in it we'll die
A thousand tiny lies take the place of you
I've seen it too
In all the things you do
It lives inside of you
A parasite or two
[Chorus]
There used to be a reason why
We wrote the words across the sky
You and I will never die without a fight
My suburban muse

[Bridge]
I'm the king of ordinary things
They're killing me from inside out
I'll give it away

[Chorus]
There used to be a reason why
We wrote the words across the sky
You and I will never die without a fight
My suburban muse

[Chorus 2]
Between the cars on dusty streets
The culdesac is where we meet
I crunch the leaves beneath my feet and curse this town
My suburban muse

[Outro]
Her senior year she joined junior statesman club
And worked hard as they met brother Ramettes
Each of these girls were deserving of the honor of Prom Queen
