Susie Before Sunrise, lyric by Stan Ridgway

from the songs album Anatomy

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
