Suzie

Deep in summer, summer night
Windows open sorting the flies
Same temperature in as outside
Time to wander down the mountain side

Onto the main road, lit by the moon
Our conversation is this nights tune
Heat rising up from our shoes
The earth's not cooling anytime soon

I think I hear a car
That engine noise is coming fast
I think I hear a car
Don't let Suzie run ahead, don't let Suzie run ahead

We squat down in the bush below
To make sure we can't be seen by the road
We're still calling for her to come to our side
I can feel the panic, the whites of my mother's eyes

The cars headlights growing brighter still
It's peaked the crest, it's coming on down the hill
Swipes by so fast as we hold our breaths
Hearts pumping fast through the walls of our chest

Return to black, except the moon and the devil tail light
Hoping she'll return sometime in the night

Please do not slow down
Keep moving one hundred by the hour
Please do not slow down
Keep moving one hundred by the hour
Please do not slow down
Don't let Suzie run ahead
