Mary
Another dirty morning Woke up today Job in the city is calling Throws her legs out of bed and Slowly walks across the floor she Puts her face on in the mirror Rising sun creeping up behind her Pulls her hair up high Looks at the lines on her face They're growing wider And she starts to cry and Hey Hey Mary Hey Hey Mary Tries to remember summer As her bus rolls into town It leaves her like a lonesome lover Alone in the bustle of this town And this nine to five This life It leaves little time for feeling You got less for dreaming When the walls of her life are closing in Feels like she’s waging a war she’ll never win The thought of another day fills her with dread As she cries at night All alone in bed and Hey Hey Mary Hey Hey Mary She believes in life She believes in death She believes in believing ‘Cause she believes in the words I said When the night it’s coming down The shadows reach for you I’ll be there to turn to When the whole world has been untrue Sometimes she thinks of leaving Getting washed away in the rain Maybe go and jump that train and Maybe go and catch that plain and Gonna get the hell out of here Going to put some space between This life This life she fell into Mary walks the city streets Tramples pavement beneath her feet The tall steel buildings cut the sky And the city cries Cries for all the people trapped below Living their lives in the, the to and fro And everyone looking for that one thing The way out She believes in life She believes in death She believes in believing ‘Cause she believes in the words I said When the night it’s coming down The shadows reach for you I’ll be there to turn to When the whole world has been untrue
