"And she feeds you tea and oranges that come all the way from China"
There's a girl that I really like whose middle name is Suzanne and when I first heard this song I thought of her and have been thinking of her ever since.
"And you know that she's half-crazy but that's why you wanna to be there"
Yes, that's her: half crazy — but half-crazy in the best and most courageous run barefoot in the field of wildflowers kind of way

👒And I'm caught one more time
Up on Cyprus Avenue
I'm caught one more time
Up on Cyprus Avenue
And I'm conquered in a car seat
Not a thing that I can do
I may go crazy Before that mansion on the hill I may go crazy Before that mansion on the hill But my heart keeps beating faster And my feet can't keep still And all the little girls rhyme something On way back home from school And all the little girls rhyme something On the way back home from school And the leaves fall one by one And call the autumn time a fool Yeah, my t-tongue gets tied Every, every, every time I try to speak My tongue gets tied Every time I try to speak And my inside shakes just like a leaf on a tree I think I'll go walking by the railroad with my cherry, cherry wine I believe I'll go walking by the railroad with my cherry, cherry wine If I pass the rumbling station where the lonesome engine drivers pine
Poster's Note: This is where the narrator suddenly begins to feel optimistic Wait a minute, yonder come my lady Rainbow ribbons in her hair Yonder come my lady Rainbow ribbons in her hair Six white horses and a carriage She's returning from the fair Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
Well, I'm caught one more time Up on Cyprus Avenue Oh yes, I am I'm caught one more time Up on Cyprus Avenue, oh And I'm conquered in a car seat And I'm looking straight at you
Way up on, way up on Way up on, way up on, way up on Way up on, way up on, way up on Way up on, way up on, way up on Way up on To the avenue of trees Keep walking down In the wind and the rain, darling You keep walking down when the sun shone through the trees Nobody, no, no, no, no, nobody stops me from loving you baby So young and bold, 14 year old

Baby, baby, baby Baby, baby, baby Baby, baby, baby Baby, baby, baby Ooh, yeah
