Dead Flowers

Well when you're sitting there
In your silk upholstered chair
Talkin' to some folk that you know

Well I hope you won't see me
And my ragged company
For you know I could never be alone

Take me down little Suzy, take me down
I know you think you're the queen of the underground
And 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

Well when you're sitting back
In your rose-pink Cadillac
Making bets on Kentucky Derby day

I'll be in my basement room
With a needle and a spoon
And another girl to take my pain away

Take me down little Suzy, take me down
I know you think you're the queen of the underground
And 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

Take me down little Suzy, take me down
I know you think you're the queen of the underground
And you can send me dead flowers every morning
Send me dead flowers by the U.S. Mail
Say it with dead flowers in my wedding
And I won't forget to put roses on your grave
No I won't forget to put roses on your grave
