[Verse 1]
Move up from the table
Stick her arm let her go
Dropped dime on me last time
By morning his blood turned cold

[Chorus]
Runnin' from the law since Monday
'Cause Suzy went down on time
Got enough to last till Sunday
So i'm burnin' on down that line

[Bridge]
Killing yourself, killing yourself
Killing yourself, k-k-k-killing yourself

[Verse 2]
Move up from the table
Fat man going down
Some run from the big gun
Some just run from the sound

[Chorus]
Runnin' from the law since Monday
'Cause Suzy went down on time
Got enough to last till Sunday
So I'm burnin' on down that line

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
Suzy was a bad child
Always on the wrong side
Ah, she was no good
She was bad, bad, bad with the bad cats
Always punching the needle in her arm
Ah, but when she's good, she's so damn good

[Bridge]
Killing yourself, killing yourself
Killing yourself, k-k-k-killing yourself

Alice in Chains are a Seattle-based rock band. They rose to international fame in the early 1990s as part of the ‘grunge’ movement. They are one of the most critically and commercially acclaimed acts of the 90s. Their first 3 studio albums all went multi-platinum and they have received 8 Grammy nominations for Best Hard Rock performance (sadly, never winning once).

Their unique sound comes from the harmonized vocals of co-founders Layne Staley and Jerry Cantrell, as showcased in some of their biggest songs like “No Excuses” from Jar of Flies, “Angry Chair” from Dirt and “Again” from the self-titled album. Cantrell also serves as the primary songwriter and guitarist of the band.

The band was never restricted to grunge. Cantrell believes it to be heavy metal; and indeed a lot of modern heavy metal bands cite Alice in Chains as an influence, including Metallica for Death Magnetic.
