I'm in Love with Susan Smith Songtext

von Okkervil River

I'm in love with Susan Smith
And I've been from the start
I'm in love with Susan Smith
And I'll take care of her

Is she crazy? I think so
How else to explain?
Strap them babies in that car seat
Ain't gonna see them again

Piece of film, all innocence,
Crawling, smiling, permanence
She makes up some BS story
On CBS and all the rest
She sounds so phony, I can hear
Her tears inside, hurting, haunting
Who she was then, I don't know
But I find myself wanting her

I'm in love with Susan Smith
And ain't no truth the way man tell it,
"A mother's love is pure and perfect"
What's the verdict? I can smell it

Kill the bitch, ain't no mitigating fact
Just dig a ditch and bury her ass
Final judgement is ___(?) you ask?
How come you're even bothering?

I'm in love with Susan Smith
'cause I hate all of you
Said bitch," judging, your shit stinks"
The pressure takes its aim on you,
The pressure beats your fucking head in
What are you supposed to do?
None of this applies to you

'cause moments define everything
Early enough, birds were singing
What is it about today?
Is it anything especially?
