[00:00.00]Little Susie / Pie Jesu - Michael Jackson
[00:58.62]Lyrics by:Michael Jackson
[01:57.24]Composed by:Michael Jackson
[02:55.86]Somebody killed little Susie
[02:59.52]The girl with the tune
[03:02.38]Who sings in the daytime at noon
[03:06.43]She was there screaming
[03:08.99]Beating her voice in her doom
[03:13.00]But nobody came to her soon
[03:17.10]A fall down the stairs
[03:19.39]Her dress torn
[03:20.84]Oh the blood in her hair
[03:23.69]A mystery so sullen in air
[03:27.61]She lie there so tenderly
[03:30.36]Fashioned so slenderly
[03:33.09]Lift her with care
[03:35.45]Oh the blood in her hair
[03:42.66]Everyone came to see
[03:45.52]The girl that now is dead
[03:48.96]So blind stare the eyes in her head
[03:52.96]And suddenly a voice from the crowd said
[03:56.63]This girl lived in vain
[03:59.73]Her face bear such agony such strain
[04:03.72]But only the man from next door
[04:06.93]Knew Little Susie and how he cried
[04:10.13]As he reached down
[04:11.70]To close Susie's eyes
[04:14.25]She lie there so tenderly
[04:17.32]Fashioned so slenderly
[04:19.83]Lift her with care
[04:22.08]Oh the blood in her hair
[04:28.92]It was all for God's sake
[04:30.94]For her singing the tune
[04:34.39]For someone to feel her despair
[04:39.33]To be damned to know hoping is dead and you're doomed
[04:44.74]Then to scream out
[04:46.66]And nobody's there
[04:53.33]She knew no one cared
[04:57.10]Father left home poor mother died
[05:01.04]Leaving Susie alone
[05:03.86]Grandfather's soul too had flown
[05:07.72]No one to care
[05:10.01]Just to love her
[05:11.47]How much can one bear
[05:14.42]Rejecting the needs in her prayers
[05:18.45]Neglection can kill
[05:20.79]Like a knife in your soul
[05:22.85]Oh it will
[05:24.87]Little Susie fought so hard to live
[05:28.96]She lie there so tenderly
[05:31.97]Fashioned so slenderly
[05:34.38]Lift her with care
[05:36.69]So young and so fair
