Mary

Mary can’t sleep unless it’s perfectly dark
After five shots of tequila we’re running naked through the park
She says there’s no point in sleeping
If we really don’t want to wake up
Let’s go see if the angels are dancing
'cos I’m spinning and I don’t want to stop
I don’t want to stop
Mary Queen of the Bar — wild, close to crazy
Mary Queen of the Bar — hot, bold and hazy
Mary’s got a dog and drives a wrecked up car
Says I don’t expect to make much money when I’m working in a bar
But I can pay my rent and I can feed my dog
And on Sundays I’m happy ‘cos Sundays are off
It’s not like I’m gonna stay here forever
One of these days I’ll leave and take off
Yeah I’ll leave and take off
Mary Queen of the Bar — wild, close to crazy
Mary Queen of the Bar — hot, bold and hazy
For a while I was happy there under her reign
Celebrated as royalty by the weak and insane
Floating along, floating along
Floating along, floating along
Floating along, we were floating along
Mary is a painting in violet and black
Got a wall full of faces staring at me and I can’t stare back
Some are of angels and some are of ghosts
And some of them she choose not to comment at all
Take of her clothes lays down there and looks at me
It’s funny she says — that angels can fall
Yeah that angels can fall — with the wings and all
Mary Queen of the Bar — wild, close to crazy
Mary Queen of the Bar — hot, bold and hazy
Mary Queen of the Bar — wild, close to crazy
Mary Queen of the Bar — hot, bold and hazy
This side of Eden the winters are cold
