Susie Before Sunrise Lyrics - 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
