Who are you when the lights come up?

When the music fades and the crowd goes down?

Where did you land when the spinning stopped?

Are you far away in another town?

You were young and the lights were bright

You went dancing in to the night

You always said it would turn out alright

Suzanne, will you tell me if you can?

Suzanne, is it everything you wanted?

Suzanne, Suzanne, is it everything you dreamed it would be?

You reached for the stars and you touched the sky

You fеll back down and you don't know why

But, Suzanne, you still shine bright to me

You arе the first one on and the last one off

Who do you see when the mask comes off?

With your red wine teeth and your smoker's cough

Suzanne, I'm sure you've had enough

But you never cared for what I had to say

Now you go sleeping all through the day

Please don't dream your life away

Suzanne, would you help me to understand?

Suzanne, is it everything you wanted?

Suzanne, Suzanne, is it everything you dreamed it would be?

For time takes everything she likes

And youth will leave like a thief in the night

But, Suzanne, you still shine bright to me

Now you're old and the lights are dim

The band won't play and the man won't sing

All the songs that he sang when you danced with him

Suzanne, can I take you by the hand?

Suzanne, is it everything you wanted?

Suzanne, Suzanne, is it everything you dreamed it would be?

You never knew the rules to the game

Drawn in like a moth to the flame

Suzanne, it is a crying shame

That they'll never know your name
