From the recording Dead Flowers
Lyrics
Dead Flowers
When you're sitting there, in your silk upholstered chair
Talkin' to some rich folks that you know.
well I hope you won't see me, and my ragged company
Cause you know that I could never be alone
Take me down little Susie, take me down
I know you think you're the queen of the underground
Well you can send me dead flowers every morning,
Send me dead flowers by the mail,
Send me dead flowers to my wedding,
And I won't forget to put roses on your grave.
When you're lying back, in your rose pink, Cadillac
Taking bets on Kentucky Derby days
I'll be in my basement room, with a needle, and a spoon
And another girl will take my pain away
Take me down, little Susie take me down
I know you think you're the queen of the underground.
Well you can send me dead flowers every morning.
Send me dead flowers by the U.S Mail.
Say it with dead flowers to my wedding
And I won't forget to put roses on your grave
No, I won't forget to put roses on your grave
