Passenger Suzanne
Who are you when the lights come up
When the music fades and the crowd goes down
Where did you land when the spinning stopped
Are you far away in another town
You were young and the lights were bright
You went dancing in to the night
You always said it would turn out alright
Suzanne will you tell me if you can
Suzanne is it everything you wanted
Suzanne Suzanne is it everything you dreamed it would be
You reached for the stars and you touched the sky
You fell back down and you don't know why
But Suzanne you still shine bright to me
You are the first one on and the last one off
Who do you see when the mask comes off
With your red wine teeth and your smoker's cough
Suzanne I'm sure you've had enough
But you never cared for what I had to say
Now you go sleeping all through the day
Please don't dream your life away
Suzanne would you help me to understand
Suzanne is it everything you wanted
Suzanne Suzanne is it everything you dreamed it would be
For time takes everything she likes
And youth will leave like a thief in the night
But Suzanne you still shine bright to me
Now you're old and the lights are dim
The band won't play and the man won't sing
All the songs that he sang when you danced with him
Suzanne can I take you by the hand
Suzanne is it everything you wanted
Suzanne Suzanne is it everything you dreamed it would be
You never knew the rules to the game
Drawn in like a moth to the flame
Suzanne it is a crying shame
That they'll never know your name
