Suburban Girl
Suburban Serenade: A Poor Boy's Journey through Love and Longing
Lyrics
I'm riding on my Santa Cruz
I am traveling on my Santa Cruz.
Skinny legs, skinny shoes
I have slender legs and wear small shoes.
All a poor boy could want
Everything a poor boy could desire.
All a poor boy could do
All a poor boy could accomplish.
I know your dad's asleep
I am aware that your father is asleep.
I know your mother's fried
I know your mother is in an altered state (possibly intoxicated).
Grip tape got a hold of me
Grip tape has a strong influence on me (possibly a reference to skateboarding).
And everything's all right
Despite challenges, everything is fine.
Get yourself outside
Go outside and experience life for yourself.
Won't you come and go?
Encouragement to explore and live freely.
There's not a lot to the world
The world is not overly complicated.
Make up your mind suburban girl
Suburban girl, make a decision about your life.
You see me standing in your yard
You observe me in your yard.
You pop the window screen
You remove the window screen, inviting connection.
Now you're popping off the top
Now you're taking drugs, possibly belonging to your brother.
Of your brother's Dexedrine
Using drugs to alter perception and consciousness.
Raving down the stars
Expressing excitement and passion.
Oh, how your heart was flying
Recalling a moment of intense emotion.
Said you're gonna get out
Expressing determination to escape or face consequences.
Or you're gonna die trying
A commitment to strive for a better life.
Get yourself outside
Step outside and experience the world.
Won't you come and go?
Encouragement to venture out and explore life.
There's not a lot to the world
The world is not overly complex.
Make up your mind suburban girl
Suburban girl, make a decision about your life.
It's gonna take another hundred years of fairy tales
It will take a long time and many stories to liberate you from your current situation.
To get you out of here
Distance and challenges (symbolized by crashing waves) are keeping you trapped.
Long distance calls, the crashing waves
Reference to difficulties in communication and relationships.
Breaking up again and by the way
Problems and conflicts, possibly related to relationships.
There's not a lot to the world
The world is not overly complex.
Make up your mind suburban girl
Suburban girl, make a decision about your life.
There's not a lot to the world
The world is not overly complex.
Make up your mind suburban girl
Suburban girl, make a decision about your life.
I'm riding on my Santa Cruz
I am traveling on my Santa Cruz.
Skinny legs, skinny shoes
I have slender legs and wear small shoes.
All a poor boy could want
Everything a poor boy could desire.
All a poor boy could do
All a poor boy could accomplish.
