I’m In Love With Susan Smith Okkervil River

I'm in love with Susan Smith
I've been from the start
I'm in love with Susan Smith
And I'll take care of her

Is she crazy? I think so
How else to explain
Strapped them babies in that car seat
Ain't gonna see them again

Piece of film, all innocence
Crawling, smiling, permanence
She makes up some bs story
On cbs and all the rest
She sounds so phoney
I can hear tears inside hurting, haunting
Who she was then I don't know
But I find myself wanting her

I'm in love with Susan Smith
Ain't no truth
The way men tell it
A mother's love is pure and perfect
What's the verdict
I can smell it
