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 and 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

T.v. 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 (repeat)
