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 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
 She's gonna make it right
 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-Eleven
 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
 Hmm, yea-eah
