Susan Lyrics by Article 15

Waiting for the Fall

0

Susan finished school at 16
Wants to be a secretary
Two years later she's got nowhere
Ends up in a factory
Making matches it's so boring
She gets sad and so depressed
Hears her doctor smugly tell her
"Take these pills and get some rest"
But she takes it one step further
Parents rescue her in time
Then they tell her, "When you're married everything will be just fine"
She recovers and gets married it further shuts the closing door
Though he says "I really love you"
She feels worse off than before
Nine months later she's the mother
To a bouncing baby boy
"Oh how lovely!" say her parents, but for her there is no joy
Words like mommy don't mean nothing
It's all she is from 9 to 5
All alone, and only 19
Every single day she dies
19 years of hollow cliches
Now she wants to end it all
Bored to death from doing nothing
Family drives her up the wall
Swinging Susan hangs herself
She couldn't live a pointless life
He walks in and sees through tears
The rigid corpse that was his wife
The life and times of Susan Strange
Ended in that tragic way
With the money from insurance
The family went on holiday
Nothing left but rotting flowers
On an unattended grave
The epitaph has faded badly
No one reads it anyway
