Susan's House

Goin' over to Susan's house walking south down Baxter street

Nothin' hidin' behind this picket fence

There's a crazy old woman smashing bottles

On the sidewalk where her house burnt down 2 years ago

People say back then she really wasn't that crazyGoin' over to Susan's house

Goin' over to Susan's house

I can't be alone tonightDown by the donut prince a 15 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 skinGoin' over to Susan's house

Goin' over to Susan's house

She's gonna make you rightTake a left down Echo Park a kid asked do I want some crack

TV sets are spewing bay watch through the windows into blackHere comes a girl with long brown hair who cant be more than 17

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-eleven and I keep walking and I keep walkingGoin' over to Susan's house

Goin' over to Susan's house

I can't be alone tonight

Goin' over to Susan's house
