Suburban Swans Songtext
von Flat Worms

Well, it was pulling on my heartstrings
′Cause we were burnt from the outset
From the minute that we went outside
No, we didn't stand a chance
The shadow came down the stairway
Walked out the door, up to the street
When we were driving in the suburbs
We saw it wandering the cul-de-sac

It was an unripe idea of a morning
And the sun came out like a warning
And it lasted until the news broke, everybody gasped
And started packing up the suitcase
But nobody had a place to go
And there was too much traffic anyways
From the minute we got to leaving
No, we didn′t stand a chance


I can't take it anymore
I can't take it anymore

Well, it was pulling on my heartstrings
Yeah, it was pulling on my heartstrings
I went back to the old neighborhood to take a look around
And there′s not much left to love
I said, it′s pulling on my heartstrings
Yeah, it's pulling on my heartstrings
I went back to the old neighborhood to take a look around

And there′s not much left to see
Not much left to do
Not much left to love
So what's a boy to do without a home to return to?
I said, it′s pulling on my heartstrings
Oh God, it's tearing me apart

I can′t take it anymore
I can't take it anymore
No, I can't take it anymore
