Susan's House Lyrics

Going over to susan's house

 Walking south down baxter street 

 Nothing hiding behind this picket fence

 There's a crazy old woman smashing bottles 

 On the sidewalk where her house burnt down two years ago

 People say that back then she really wasn't that crazy 

 

 Going over to susan's house

 Going over to susan's house

 She's gonna make it right 

 

 Down by the donut prince 

 A fifteen year old boy lies on the sidewalk 

 With a bullet in his forehead

 In a final act of indignity 

 The paramedics take off all his clothes 

 For the whole world to see 

 While they put him in the bag

 Meanwhile an old couple argues inside the queen bee

 The sick fluorescent light shimmering on their skin

 

 Going over to susan's house

 Going over to susan's house

 I can't be alone tonight

 

 Take a left down echo park

 A kid asks do i want some crack

 Tv sets are spewing baywatch 

 Through the windows into black 

 

 Here comes a girl with long brown hair

 Who can't be more than seventeen

 She sucks on a red popsicle while she pushes a baby girl

 In a pink carriage 

 And i'm thinking that must be her sister

 That must be her sister, right?

 They go into the 7-11

 And i keep walking 

 

 Going over to susan's house
