Susan Lyrics - Bachelor No. 2 - 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 

But 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 

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 

Suzie, 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
