"Sue" lyrics

"Sue"

Miss Eliza Dumont's hands, the hummingbird
Open a stubborn soda can for Jane
Locust trees and honeybees are lilting in the wind
"Father, hallowed by thy name"

A boxing match with a pinion shaft, the Sunday punch, one-two
Stay down, stay down
Ain't comin' back for the chicken scratch, he made to pull us out
This town, this town

"Dining room table
Where we conceived our child
Born there was she and sisters three
Please let us sit a while"

Maybe's up on Hollow Hill beggin' God for gold
Jude's downtown beggin' men
Well, they say love can't be bought or sold
But this week, it's two for ten

Sue, whoo-hoo
You always were the peaceful one
But a gunfight inside you
Is rippin' up the stone

"Dining room table
Where we conceived our child
Born there was she and sisters three
Please let us sit a while"

"Dining room table
Where we conceived our child
Born there was she and sisters three
Please let us sit a while"
