From the recording Mysterious Skin
SUSANNA Susanna you’ll always be beautiful to me You’ll always be beautiful to me Don’t live your life behind a smoke screen Don’t live a lie or in between
No more mirrors or magic tricks No more cheap gender politics
You know you’re not in sin
You have to let it out
If you want your life to begin
Susanna you’ll always be beautiful to me
You’ll always be beautiful to me
I hope everyone you know will see
There’s some things in life we can never be
There are some walls we can never climb
Something we should never hide
From you self you should never hide from yourself Susanna you’ll always be beautiful to me You’ll always be beautiful to me Don’t let your heart grow cold and numb Like a bitter cruel twisted old nun Susanna you’ll always be beautiful to me You’ll always be beautiful to me
