Mary
[Verse 1]
I met Mary on a moonless night
Her starry eyes could make the world look bright
Young and perfect, and full of life
She said, "we're gonna make it out one night"
We're gonna make it out one night
As time passed, we both got old
From the bar she lived above, she sat and wrote
By the light of blue and yellow neon sign
She wrote, "we're gonna make it out one night"
We're gonna make it out one night
[Chorus]
So go on work all your angles out
Get a plan together, get your demons out
Cause Mary the world wants to bring you down
But don't you let "˜em
[Verse 2]
I ran into her in Union Square
Her starry eyes were looking dim and scared
With a cigarette providing all the light
She said, "we're gonna make it out one night"
We're gonna make it out one night
It rained the night I said goodbye
When I lit her candle I never thought to cry
Cause Mary, you never were the staying kind
You were gonna make it out one night
You were gonna make it out one night
[Chorus]
So go on work all your angles out
Get a plan together, get your demons out
Cause Mary the world wants to bring you down
But don't you let "˜em
[Bridge]
There's a moment that we change
And we fall along the way
Cause we're not looking when we run
And if that moment never comes
Save your breath, we only get so many trips around the sun
And there's no lucky stars
[Chorus]
So go on work all your angles out
Get a plan together, get your demons out
Cause Mary the world wants to bring you down
But don't you let "˜em
