Goin' over to Susan's house
Walking south down Baxter Street
Nothin hidin' 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 back then she really wasn't that crazy
Goin' over to Susan's house
Goin' 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 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
Goin' over to Susan's house
Goin' over to Susan's house
She's gonna make it right
Take a left down Echo Park
A kid asked do I want some crack
TV sets are spewing Through the windows into black
Here comes a girl with long brown hair
Who cant be more than 17
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
Goin' over to Susan's house
Goin' over to Susan's house
I can't be alone to night
Goin' over to Susan's house
