Suffer Me

Oh The streets outside were stained

At the stonewall on June 28th

Blood runs cold into the gutters

And into the drain

There’s a fear you can’t define

There’s no peace and there’s no crime

In living this way

So add a bead to your rosary

And say a prayer

You’ve got to suffer me

Suffer me

You got to let me be

And keep me outta your fantasy

Can you give me that one luxury

Yeah yeah yeah

As they walked, they locked their stride

And the night sticks swung right by their side

They jeered and they muttered

Yet to be defied

There’s a fear you can’t define

There’s no peace and there’s no crime

In living this way

So add a bead to your rosary

And say a prayer

You’ve got to suffer me

Suffer me

You got to let me be

And keep me outta your fantasy

Can you give me that one luxury

Yeah yeah yeah

By the time the dawn had broke

The city coughed and slowly woke

And there was one less boot

Pressing down on one less throat

There’s a fear you can’t define

There’s no peace and there’s no crime

In living this way

So add a bead to your rosary

And say a prayer

You’ve got to suffer me

Suffer me

You got to let me be

And keep me outta your fantasy

Can you give me that one luxury

Yeah yeah yeah

Suffer me

You got to let me be

And keep me outta your fantasy

Can you give me that one luxury

Yeah yeah yeah

Suffer me

You got to let me be

And keep me outta your fantasy

Can you give me that one luxury

Yeah yeah yeah yeah
