Susie Before Sunrise
Stan Ridgway
Here where the carousel spins
On an ocean of blame
We pick pockets in the crowds
Near the gold mines of shame
And I will wear a red ruby ring
That reflects the full moon
Meet me on the corner tonight
And we'll sleep deep down in the sand dunes
Chorus:
Susie climbed a mountain of tacks
She lost control of the facts
She put all of the clothes in a brown paper sack
And drove outta state the next day before sunrise
Before sunrise
Susie climbed a mountain of tacks
Walkin' by the old funzone1
South of the gutter of doubt
Past a broken mirror glass
The reflection faded in and out
And I saw her there
Chorus repeat x3
