Susans House

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
