Suzanne Songtext
von Bomb

Suzanne takes you down

Suzanne takes you down to her place by the river

You can hear the boats go by
You can spend the night beside her

And you know that she′s half-crazy
But that's why you want to be there
And she feeds you tea and oranges
That come all the way from China
And just when you mean to tell her
That you have no love to give her
Then she gets you on her wavelength
And she lets the river answer
That you′ve always been her lover

And you want to travel with her
And you want to travel blind
And you think maybe you'll trust her
For she's touched your perfect body with her mind


Now Jesus was a sailor
When he walked across the water
And he spent a long time watching
From his lonely wooden tower
Oh, but when he knew for certain
Only drowning men could see him
He said, "All men will be sailors
For until the sea shall free them"
And he himself was broken
Long before the sky would open

Forsaken, almost human
He sank beneath your wisdom like a stone

And you want to travel with him
And you want to travel blind

And you know that you can trust him
For he′s touched your perfect body with his mind

Now Suzanne takes you down
And she leads you to the river

She′s wearing rags and feathers
From Salvation Army counters
And the sun pours down like honey
Upon our lady of the harbour
And she shows you where to look
Among the garbage and the flowers

There are angels in the seaweed
There are children in the morning
They are leaning out for love
They will lean that way forever
While Suzanne takes the mirror
