Along Comes Mary |
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 |
From 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 the neighbor folks make jokes |
At 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 |
Sweet as the punch (Sweet as the punch) |
Sweet as the punch (Sweet as the punch) |
Sweet as the punch (Sweet as the punch) |
Sweet as the punch |
