Mary Queen of Arkansas |
| Mary, Queen of Arkansas, it's not too early for dreamin' |
| The sky is grown with cloud seed sown and a bastard's love can be redeeming |
| Mary, my queen, your soft hulk is reviving |
| No, you're not too late to desecrate, the servants are just rising |
| Well, I'm just a lonely acrobat, the live wire is my trade |
| I've been a shine boy for your acid brat and a wharf rat of your state |
| Mary, my queen, your blows for freedom are missing |
| You're not man enough for me to hate or woman enough for kissing |
| The big top is for dreamers, we can take the circus all the way to the border |
| And the gallows wait for martyrs whose papers are in order |
| But I was not born to live to die, and you were not born for queenin' |
| It's not too late to infiltrate, the servants are just leavin' |
| Mary, Queen of Arkansas, your white skin is deceivin' |
| You wake and wait to lie in bait and you almost got me believin' |
| But on your bed, Mary, I can see the shadow of a noose |
| I don't understand how you can hold me so tight and love me so damn loose |
| But I know a place where we can go, Mary |
| Where I can get a good job and start out all over again clean |
| I got contacts deep in Mexico where the servants have been seen |
