Susan - Aimee Mann

Oh Susan, you were clued-in

You knew just how this thing would go

A prognosis that was hopeless

From the very first domino

I guess I see it all in hindsight

I tried to keep perspective despite

The flash of the fuse, the smell of cordite

Now I’m in that place again

And I know he can’t come in to get me

And someday he will live to regret me

Susan, I can see it now

Oh Suzie, they get to me

They can really be wearying

So he threw me rope and buoy

Let me use his decoder ring

There must have been some kind of parade

We kissed for a while to see how it played

And pulled the pin on another grenade

But I’m in that place again

And I know he can’t come in to get me

And someday he will live to regret me

Suzy, I can see it now

Oh Susan, the hope of fusion

Is that the halo will reappear

It may be pure illusion

But it’s beautiful while it’s here

I had some trouble with the goodbye

I checked my roman candle supply

And watched the vapor-trail in the sky

But I’m in that place again

And I know he can’t come in to get me

And someday he will live to regret me

Susan I can see it now

Susan I can see it now

Susan I can… see… it… now
