[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus 1]
Going over to Susan's house (x2)
I can't be alone tonight
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus 2]
Going over to Susan's house (x2)
She's gonna make it right
[Bridge]
Take a left down Echo Park
A kid asks do I want some crack
TV sets are spewing Baywatch
Through the windows into black
[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus 1]
Going over to Susan's house (x2)
I can't be alone tonight
