Better Daze

Suzie and Harold were Dover's pride
When they fell in love in the summertime
The Ohio nights were hard to beat
For evading the sticky summer heat
When Suzie and Harold were to wed
He fell in the shower and hit his head
Bleeding face down on the porcelain
Suzie's life went into reeling

Suzie was chilled to the bone
She had to retreat to her father's home
Her father asks if she's alright
She returns his glance with her anxious eyes
Because her father is a good man
Calls his friend who works in medicine
Can't bare seeing her this way
Asks for a pill to bring back better daze
Those better daze, oh, better daze
Better daze, those better daze
Better daze, oh, better daze
Those better daze
Those better daze

Suzie's felt worse since the medicine
Her lungs are burning and she can't breath in
Her father insists on the vice
It's the only way for a normal life
But a normal life was lost last June
When Harold fell in the bathroom
She hasn't taken them for 6 weeks
If only it was that easy
Her father asks if she's feeling well
She gives him a smile though she feels like hell
She wants him to think that she's okay
Even though she's thinking of better daze
Oh, better daze
Those better daze
Oh, better daze
