|
Every time I think that I'm the only one who's lonely |
|
Someone calls on me |
|
And every now and then I spend my time in rhyme and verse |
|
And curse those faults in me |
|
And then along comes Mary |
|
And does she want to give me kicks , and be my steady chick |
|
And give me pick of memories |
|
Or maybe rather gather tales of all the fails and tribulations |
|
No one ever sees |
|
When we met I was sure out to lunch |
|
Now my empty cup tastes as sweet as the punch |
|
When vague desire is the fire in the eyes of chicks |
|
Whose sickness is the games they play |
|
And when the masquerade is played and neighbor folks make jokes |
|
As who is most to blame today |
|
And then along comes Mary |
|
And does she want to set them free, and let them see reality |
|
From where she got her name |
|
And will they struggle much when told that such a tender touch as hers |
|
Will make them not the same |
|
When we met I was sure out to lunch |
|
Now my empty cup tastes as sweet as the punch |
|
And when the morning of the warning's passed, the gassed |
|
And flaccid kids are flung across the stars |
|
The psychodramas and the traumas gone |
|
The songs are left unsung and hung upon the scars |
|
And then along comes Mary |
|
And does she want to see the stains, the dead remains of all the pains |
|
She left the night before |
|
Or will their waking eyes reflect the lies, and make them |
|
Realize their urgent cry for sight no more |
|
When we met I was sure out to lunch |
|
Now my empty cup tastes as sweet as the punch |
