this is a song about susan
this is a song about the girl next door
this is a song about the everyday occurances
that make me feel like letting go
yes i think we've got a problem
so much for the afterglow
this is a song about susan
this is a song about the way things are
this is a song about the scary things
you see from the corner of your eyes
don't you wonder why?
we never talk about the future
we never talk about the past anymore
we never ask ourselves the questions
to the answers that nobody
even wants to know
i guess the honeymoon is over
so much for the afterglow
i remember we could talk about anything
i remember when we used to want to hang out
i remember we could talk about everything
i remember when we used to want to hang out
i remember we could talk about everything
i remember when we used to want to hang out
i remember when we used to want to hang out
i remember we could talk about everything
i remember i remember i remember
we never talk about the future
we never talk about the past anymore
we never ask ourselves the questions
to the answers that nobody
even wants to know
oh well oh well oh well
so much for the afterglowoh well oh well oh well
so much for the afterglow
oh well oh well oh well
yes i guess we need the drama
______________________________
Everything To Everyone you put yourself in stupid places
yes i think you know it's true
situations where it's easy to look down on you
i think you like to be the victim
i think you like o be in pain
i think you make yourself a victim
almost every single day
you do what you do you say what you say
you try to be everything to everyone
you know all the right people
you play all the right games
you always try to be
everything to everyone
yeah you do it again
yeah you always do it again
you say they taught you to read and write
they taught you how to count
i say they taught you how to buy and sell
your own body by the pound
i think you like to be their simple toy
i think you love to play the clown
i think you are blind to the fact
that the hand you hold
is the hand that holds you down
you do what you do you say what you say
you try to be everything to everyone
you know all the right people
you play all the right games
you always try to be
everything to everyone
spin around and fall down
do it again
you stumble and fall
yeah why don't you ever learn
spin around and fall down
do it again
you stumble and you fall
i wonder if you will ever learnwhy won't you ever learn
come on now
do that stupid dance for me
you do what you do you say what you say
you try to be everything to everyone
you jump through the big hoop
you play all the right games
you try to be everything to everyone
spin around and fall down
do it againy
ou stumble and you fall
yeah you do it again
spin around and fall down
do it again
you stumble and you fall...
here is the money that i owe you so you can pay the bills
i will give you more
when i get paid again
i hate those people who love to tell you
money is the root of all that kills
they have never been poor
they have never had the joy
of a welfare christmas
i know we will never look back
you say you wake up crying
yes and you don't know why
you get up and you go lay down
inside my baby's room
i guess i'm doing ok
i moved in with the strangest guy
can you believe
he actually thinks
that i'm really alive
i will buy you a garden
where your flowers can bloom
i will buy you a new car
perfect shiny and new
i will buy you that big house
way up in the west hills
i will buy you a new life
yes i will
i know all about that other guy
the handsome man with athletic thighs
i know about all the times before
with that obsessive little rich boy
they might think you're happy
yeah maybe for a minute or two
they can't make you laugh
no they can't make you feel
the way that i do
i will buy you a garden
where your flowers can bloom
i will buy you a new car
perfect shiny and new
i will buy you that big house
way up in the west hills
i will buy you a new life
yes i will
i know we can never look back
will you please let me stay the night
no one will ever know
i will buy you a garden
where your flowers can bloom
i will buy you a new car
perfect shiny and new
i will buy you that big house
way up in the west hills
i will buy you a new life
