Rush - Subdivisions Lyrics

Send "Subdivisions" ringtones to your cell

Sprawling on the fringes of the city 
In geometric order 
An insulated border 
In between the bright lights 
And the far unlit unknown 

Growing up it all seems so one-sided 
Opinions all provided 
The future pre-decided 
Detached and subdivided 
In the mass production zone 

Nowhere is the dreamer 
Or the misfit so alone 

Subdivisions - 
In the high school halls 
In the shopping malls 
Conform or be cast out 
Subdivisions - 
In the basement bars 
In the backs of cars 
Be cool or be cast out 
Any escape might help to smooth 
The unattractive truth 
But the suburbs have no charms to soothe 
The restless dreams of youth 

Drawn like moths we drift into the city 
The timeless old attraction 
Cruising for the action 
Lit up like a firefly 
Just to feel the living night 

Some will sell their dreams for small desires 
Or lose the race to rats 
Get caught in ticking traps 
And start to dream of somewhere 
To relax their restless flight 

Somewhere out of a memory 
Of lighted streets on quiet nights...
