Mary |
Eyes as blue as the cheapest streets |
You build your hotels on |
You take the pennies I’m betting with |
Because cash is cash |
I steal your whiskey and cigarettes |
From behind the old television set |
It’s still got a dial |
When I get sick you smile |
Oh oh are you watching? |
Sometimes it’s so hard to see |
Oh oh are you watching? |
Mary watch over me |
When I was bloodied and broken |
From a deadbeat kind of love |
You laughed as you held my hand |
And said «go on and cry |
But let that be the very last thing |
That you give him darling |
Now let’s go on in the house |
And make a voodoo doll.» |
Oh oh are you watching? |
Sometimes it’s so hard to see |
Oh oh are you watching? |
Mary watch over me |
Got a faded photograph |
A lion just like me |
I folded it in half |
I keep it with me |
Oh you didn’t go quietly |
Into the great white shining light |
You were hopped up on love |
And singing Johnny Cash |
You looked up and you yelled at me |
You said «Bad is cheap and good is free |
So don’t pull any fast ones kid |
'Cause I’ll be watching you.» |
Oh oh are you watching? |
Sometimes it’s so hard to see |
Oh oh are you watching? |
Mary watch over me |
