EELS - Susan's House lyrics

rate me

Going over to susan's house, walking south down baxter street<br>-nothing hiding behind this picket fence<br>There's a crazy old woman smashing bottles on the sidewalk<br>Where her house burnt down two years ago<br>People say that back then she really wasn't that crazy<br><br>Going over to susan's house<br>Going over to susan's house<br>She's gonna make it right<br><br>Down by the donut prince a fifteen year old boy lies on the sidewalk<br>With a bullet in his forehead<br>In a final act of indignity the paramedics take off all his clothes<br>For the whole world to see while they put him in the bag<br>Meanwhile and old couple argues inside the queen bee<br>The sick fluorescent light shimmering on their skin<br><br>Going over to susan's house<br>Going over to susan's house<br>I can't be alone tonight<br><br>Take a left down echo park, a kid asks do I want some crack<br>T.v. sets are spewing baywatch through the windows into black<br>Here comes a girl with long brown hair who can't be more than seventeen<br>She sucks on a red popsicle while she pushes a baby girl in a pink carriage<br>And I'm thinking that must be her sister<br>That must be her sister, right? <br>They go into the 7-11 and I keep walking<br><br>Going over to susan's house (repeat)
