Eels Susan's 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 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 th e 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 She's going to make it right Take a left down at Copark A kid asks do I like some crack TV sets are spewing Baywatch Through the windows into back Here comes a girl with long brown hair who can't be more than 17 She sucks on a red popsicle while she pushes a baby girl in a pink carraige And I'm thinking that must be her sister That must be her sister, right? They go into the 711 and I keep walking And I keep walking Going over to Susan's house Going over to Susan's house I can't be alone tonight Going over to Susan's house
