John Mellencamp - Suzanne And The Jewels lyrics

Suzanne was the j**el keeper In a word she stole all the j**els And she took them to a foreign land Which was strictly against all the rules And she wore them all proudly Like a tiara crown on her head She slept with them at night Suzanne and the j**els in a bed Chorus: Suzanne and her j**els Livin' on the edge of a friend Suzanne, how will you sleep at night When they take that crown from your head? Suzanne lived down by the river The fountain of youth did flow And she played on a steel guitar And the drifters did come and they'd go And she'd put on her crown And she'd sing them a song And some drifters would stay here the night But they never did stay long Chorus: Suzanne and her j**els Livin' on the edge of a friend Suzanne, how will you sleep at night When they take that crown from your head? This girl flew on the wind She wrote her own name in the stars Just goes to show sometimes you win No matter how crazy you are But a thief can come knocking Even with blood on the door And drink up your fountain of youth And throw your j**els and your crown on the floor Chorus: Suzanne and her j**els Livin' on the edge of a friend Suzanne, how will you sleep at night When they take that crown from your head? Suzanne and her j**els Livin' on the edge of a friend Suzanne, how will you sleep at night When they take that crown off your head?
