"Suburban Baby" lyrics

Born and raised in a heat-struck hometown
Where you're either dying or dead
Got your number in a bar so rundown
You're the hymn in my head

Said you had a ticket, take it
Or leave it, but I could provide
I know you got a reputation
You're social suicide

Kiss me in the streetlight, sweet like something real
Bring me to beachside tell me how to feel

I come from the suburbs, I'm not like the others
I am reckless
My baby is iconic, the liquor to my tonic
Initials on my necklace

Dressed up for the fair, singing while you stare
So captivated
Love a little trouble but I'm seeing double
I'm staying sedated

Need me like you need the names you drop
Your detainee
You're my palms and paradise
I'm your beaten blue beauty

In my blood is a seasick sinner
Lovelorn and alone
You could run forever
I can't ditch flesh and bone

Kiss me in the streetlight, sweet like something strange
Bring me to beachside, please don't ever change

I come from the suburbs, I'm not like the others
I am reckless
My baby is iconic, the liquor to my tonic
Initials on my necklace

Dressed up for the fair, singing while you stare
So captivated
Love a little trouble but I'm seeing double
I'm staying sedated

They live for my longing and long for my strife
Steal me away, I'm your wish-listed wife
Overdose on the sharp end of a knife
Buy out my loan sharks, I'm larger than life

I'm first on the paper but last on the stage
Get off on the problems they preach on the page
I'm an addict for passion and romance and rage
Complain 'bout your world making maximum wage

I come from the suburbs, never like the others
I am restless
My baby is an icon, the tamer to my python
But I'm getting breathless

Dressed up to the nines, drowning in cheap wines
So complicated
Love like it's a show, the sitcom's my ammo
But you still dominated
