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 crazy Goin' over to Susan's house Goin' over to Susan's house I can't be alone tonight Down 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 skin Goin' over to Susan's house Goin' over to Susan's house She's gonna make you right Take a left down Echo Park a kid asked do I want some crack TV sets are spewing bay watch through the windows into black Here comes a girl with long brown hair who cant be more than 17 She s*cks 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 walking Goin' over to Susan's house Goin' over to Susan's house I can't be alone tonight Goin' over to Susan's house
