She pulled her skirt back down
After he was done
She took a look at him
She wanted to run
Put a muck in her past
Chalked one off for Brad
He gave a kiss goodbye
She wanted him to die

Look in her eyes you can find her
Look in her eyes you can find her somewhere
Look in her eyes you can find her
Look in her eyes you can find her somewhere
Somewhere

The next day at school the rumors flew
Susan hated her name
Susan hated her fame
And you could tell from the crowd
That he felt so proud
Another memory for her to take home
Engraved in stone
Susan went home and cried
She lost something inside

Look in her eyes you can find her
Look in her eyes you can find her somewhere
Look in her eyes you can find her
Look in her eyes you can find her somewhere
Somewhere

I don't mean to kill the illusion
That I'm afraid of Susan
But I bet she had a family
And a dog and a brother
He's about three years younger
Sounds an awful lot like mine
If I remember correctly
I was 14 at the time
So I think about my younger sister
I sure am gonna miss her
As a girl naive to this world
Susan went home and cried
She lost something and died

Look in her eyes you can find her
Look in her eyes you can find her somewhere
Look in her eyes you can find her
Look in her eyes you can find her somewhere
Look in her eyes you can find her
Look in her eyes you can find her somewhere
Look in her eyes you can find her
Look in her eyes you can find her somewhere
Look in her eyes you can find her
Look in her eyes you can find her somewhere
Look in her eyes you can find her
Look in her eyes you can find her somewhere
Somewhere

    This is the infamous song from the American Pie 2 Sountrack. I have looked repeatedly for the lyrics and have yet to find any. So...for the first time...here they are! :o)

    Like me i have been looking for the lyrics to this song since i heard the song on the soundtrack, it is easily one of my favorites on the Cd. But i still can't figure out what this song is specifically about. I have figured out that she is his sister but does she kill herself? does she just leave reality in a sense? if i could even find anything else from the exit i would love to know the lead singers thoughts or ideas from this song. If anybody could help that'd be great . Thanks.

    Very sad song with very dark lyrics but lyrics that have to be said. It actually sounds like something that happened to my cuzin. She was on the verge of suicide due to something very similar to what happened to susan in this song. Fortunately she did not as I was able to convince her otherwise. But in the back of my mind I'm always thinking that what if she does. But she's getting better but that doesn't erase what happened. however, i think she'll be fine. but there is always that little thing that says she might commit suicide

    I can find tons of articles about this band, as everyone is just waiting for them to realese an ep, but that's all i can find from this band. Just a bunch of critics and fans wanting more of the exit, but yet don't have any more of the exit.

    This is about how this guy's younger sister has lost her innocense. She did some shit with a guy for the first time and is no longer the little girl that her brother remebers.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
