 Going over to Susan's house, walking south down Baxter Street

Am D
   Nothing hiding behind this picket fence

Am                   D
 There's a crazy old woman smashing bottles on the sidewalk

                A
Where her house burnt down two years ago

 People say that back then she really wasn't that crazy

 Down by the Donut Prince a fifteen year old boy lies on the sidewalk

                     Am
With a bullet in his forehead

     D
In a final act of indignity the paramedics take off all his clothes

        Am                                           D
For the whole world to see while they put him in the bag

                         A                       Am
Meanwhile and old couple argues inside the Queen Bee

The sick fluorescent light shimmering on their skin

       Going over to Susan's house

Take a      lift down   ec-ho      park, a      kid asks   do I  want some   crack

T.V.     sets are    spewing    Baywatch  through the    windows in-to     black

Am                      D                                               A
 Here comes a girl with long brown hair who can't be more than seventeen

    Am                D
She sucks on a red Popsicle while she pushes a baby girl in a pink carriage

        Am                         D
And I'm thinking, that must be her sister

                 A
That must be her sister, right?

E5
 They go into the 7-11 and I keep walking

E5              D
  And I keep walking
