MARY

hides in doorways out of the rain
the sun is shining despite her claim
steal a moment lose a day
sell your soul but who's gonna pay

a butterfly is chasing you down
you take the mainline way downtown
speeding wings can't catch you now
slow down Mary do you know how

Mary what was your number
Mary who is to know
Mary if you do love her
got a funny way of letting it show

what a field day on the weak
and nothing's sacred not even sleep
when the will comes strap it down
until the willing can't make a sound

Mary what was your number
Mary who is to know
Mary if you do love her
got a funny way of letting it show

sits by the window pane like some domestic dog
waiting to end the pain but pain's caught in the fog

Mary what was your number
Mary who is to know
Mary if you do love her
got a funny way of letting it show
let it show

Mary what was your number
Mary shes got your style
Mary head full of wonder
but a heart with a broken smile
come on and smile
