ballads of suburbia

[Shady Kaity]

small town girl,

big city dreams....



baby was a rolling stone

just like the daddy shes never known

follows whichever way the wind blows

always on the go.

mother, brother, pregnant teenage daughter

never was daddys lil girl

these are the ballads of suburbia



lost ins a small world full of big dreams

desperately trying to get out

always tied down

fear of failure holding me back

odds are stacked against me.



small town girl,

big city dreams...



baby was a rolling stone

just like the daddy shes never known

follows whichever way the wind blows

always on the go.



young single mother

slowly slipping under

free spirited,

trapt in daily routine

love for a child

all the while, feeling emotionally vile

can't seem to get it right

kisses for her baby good night



small town girl,

big city dreams...

baby was a rolling stone just like the daddy shes never known (x2)



love on the rocks

and ill take it strong

up and down relationships

always getting it wrong

dying slowly inside

masking the pain

but its you i confide in...



small town girl,

big city dreams...



these are the ballads of suburbia


Criticism is encouraged...would like to hear raw opinions. Thanks

I like it...although your imagery is rather abstract. It gives the piece a hollow effect. If you used less generic metaphors, it would add weight to the lyrics.

Very soothing to read, well done.
