(The sky)
Say a word for the foreign legions
She was once the apple of their eye
Susie on high
No more than a memory as the years go passing by
Susie on high
She was once our lover, now we cry
This is the mourning of Susie High
Will we find another b***erfly?
This is the mourning of Susie High
This is the mourning of Susie High
This is the mourning of Susie High
Susie High
Did you think she'd live forever? (Did you think the gods would let her?)
Living lighter than a feather? (Ha, my little go-getter)
She was never very shy (Susie High)
A walking imitation of the sky
Susie made up a big invention
Famous for the things that made her fly
Susie on high
Mechanical mistress, wings alight in darkest sky
Susie on high
A champion of aeronautic minds
This is the mourning of Susie High
Yet another sparrow left behind
This is the mourning of Susie High
This is the mourning of Susie High
This is the mourning of Susie High
Susie High
She tried to fly beyond the ocean (causing such a big commotion)
They played the tape in slower motion (so amazing, such devotion)
And then she fell into the Rhine (Susie High)
A walking imitation of the sky
Downwards you go when you follow the rainbow
Ambition's a b****** afoot at your table
The Queen of our hearts - hardly more than a fable
The Queen of all lies
Susie High
Susie High
Ah Susie
We believed in ya, we trusted ya
But you let us down
And now, we're crying our eyes out for ya
Now every bird that ever chances (into our erotic glances)
Might be Susie back to Kansas (is she ours or is she Oz?)
And if you flap your wings you just might fly
Susie High
A walking imitation of the sky
Say a word for the foreign legions

Susie on high
