[Verse 1]
Behind the perfect white picket fence
Living life at their own expense
They dance at parties, wear their best
While their dreams lay dead in a cedar chest
Every Sunday dressed up neat
Smiling faces down the street
[Chorus]
Oh, the neighborhood show
Where nobody wants to know
What's behind those curtains drawn
When the garden lights are gone
We dance and we pretend
That our happiness won't end
In this middle-class parade
Where our secrets never fade
[Verse 2]
Coffee mornings, gossip flows
Everyone here thinks they know
What's proper, what's right and wrong
But they've been faking it all along
New cars parked in every drive
Making sure they look alive
[Bridge]
In their perfect little boxes
Playing roles like hungry foxes
Mortgages and dinner parties
Acting like they're somebody
[Chorus]
Oh, the neighborhood show
Where nobody wants to know
What's behind those curtains drawn
When the garden lights are gone
We dance and we pretend
That our happiness won't end
In this middle-class parade
Where our secrets never fade
[Outro]
Keep on dancing, keep the pace
Hide the cracks upon your face
One more waltz around the floor
Till we can't take it anymore
