John Mellencamp - Suzanne & The Jewels Lyrics
Suzanne was the jewel keeperIn a word she stole all the jewelsAnd she took them to a foreign landWhich was strictly against all the rulesAnd she wore them all proudlyLike a tiara crown on her headShe slept with them at nightSuzanne and the jewels in a bedChorus:Suzanne and her jewelsLivin on the edge of a friendSuzanne, how will you sleep at nightWhen they take that crown from your head?Suzanne lived down by the riverThe fountain of youth did flowAnd she played on a steel guitarAnd the drifters did come and theyd goAnd shed put on her crownAnd shed sing them a songAnd some drifters would stay here the nightBut they never did stay longChorus:Suzanne and her jewelsLivin on the edge of a friendSuzanne, how will you sleep at nightWhen they take that crown from your head?This girl flew on the windShe wrote her own name in the starsJust goes to show sometimes you winNo matter how crazy you areBut a thief can come knockingEven with blood on the doorAnd drink up your fountain of youthAnd throw your jewels and your crown on the floorChorus:Suzanne and her jewelsLivin on the edge of a friendSuzanne, how will you sleep at nightWhen they take that crown from your head?Suzanne and her jewelsLivin on the edge of a friendSuzanne, how will you sleep at nightWhen they take that crown off your head?
