Mary Ann & One Eyed Dan |
Mary Ann was a waitress at the circus |
And Dan was a writer for the Delaware Locale Observer |
Just twenty-one and just two months out of the service |
Missing half an eyelid so he had to wear a patch |
Mary Ann introduced herself to Dan |
She said, «do you like the menu |
Or do you need me to read it to you?» |
Halfway angry, half turned on, and half confused |
Well he took her by the arm |
And went out back to make a match |
And he said |
So long to my former life |
To a worried life, so long |
So long to a harder life |
To a troubled life, so long |
Lyin' there under the soft glow of the sunrise |
The moon was still awake, and all the generators lowly humming |
She picked a flower and fastened it onto his bad eye |
She said, «Come on let’s get married |
I think we might get along» |
And she said |
So long to my former life |
To a selfish life, so long |
So long to a bitter life |
To a troubled life, so long |
Well, Dan, he was no poet |
Couldn’t dance, he never slept |
He had nightmares every night |
Of rain and fire on those bloody beaches |
Just then the dew dropped |
From the flower, and he wept |
«Mary Ann, you are a melody |
I think I wrote a song |
It goes like» |
So long to my worried life |
To a lonesome life, so long |
So long to a wandering life |
To a wounded life, so long |
And we all said |
So long to those memories |
To everything we can’t let go, so long |
So long to our former selves |
To our selfish selves, so long |
To our selfish selves, so long |
To our selfish selves, so long |
