Lyrics:
Dead Flowers [Version (a)]:

from July 7 2013 live version

Well when you're sitting there in your silver upholstered chair
Talkin' to some rich folks that you know
Well I hope you won't see me in my ragged company
You know I could never be alone

Take me down, little Susie, 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

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 Susie, 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

And I won't forget to put roses on your grave
