Mary Shut the Garden Door |
They came in under the radar |
When our backs were turned around |
In a fleet of Lincoln Town Cars |
They rolled into our town |
Confounded all six senses |
Like an opiate in the brain |
Mary shut the garden door |
Looks a lot like rain |
Mary shut the garden door |
Mary shut the garden door |
We pounded Rachel’s radio |
For reports about the bridge |
There was nothing on but static |
Nothing in the fridge |
We lay there listening to the wind |
Whistling through the pines |
When we heard the engines idling |
Saw the headlights through the blinds |
Mary shut the garden door |
Mary shut the garden door |
Rough dreams |
Those voices in the kitchen |
I woke up And sensed the new condition |
They won |
Storms raged |
Things changed |
Forever |
So if you ever see an automaton |
In a midprice luxury car |
Better roll the sidewalks up Switch on your lucky star |
'Cause this zombie does impressions |
But not really to amuse |
This ballad is for lovers |
With something left to lose |
Mary shut the garden door |
Mary shut the garden door |
