Suburban Swans

[Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] 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 startеd packing up the suitcase But nobody had a place to go And thеre was too much traffic anyways From the minute we got to leaving No, we didn't stand a chance [Chorus] I can't take it anymore I can't take it anymore [Verse 3] 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 [Chorus] I can't take it anymore I can't take it anymore No, I can't take it anymore
