Dead Flowers lyrics
by The Rolling Stones



When you're sitting there

In your silk, upholstered chair,

Talkin' to some rich folks that you know.

And you won't see me,

In my ragged company.

And you know I could never be alone.



Take me down, little Suzy, take me down.

I know you think you're the Queen of the underground.

And you can

Send me dead flowers in the 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 sittin' back in your rose-pink cadillac,

Makin' bets on Kentucky Derby Day.

And I'll be in my basement room,

With a needle and a spoon

And another girl to take my pains away.



Take me down, little Suzy, won't you 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.



(instrumental break, courtesy Mick Taylor)



Take me down, little Suzy, won't you 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 US mail.

Say it with dead flowers to my wedding.

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