Freckled Mary

The first time I saw her, she was messed up
All out of breath and runnin' her mouth
Ma said she's one of them criminal girls
All trouble and nothing else

But me, I always saw something different
And I tried to get close any time I could
And one day she stopped me
In the alleyway and jumped me, and
Asked me if I would

And then right away, I had wings for the day
And I looked on that line, I was over
Saw saints in the street and Freckled Mary on her knees
Making sure that no one died 'til we got old

Sometimes in her car, she would tremble
And speak of how hard her young heart aches
My sister got dusted, my brothers all got busted
Good Lord, how much can you take?

And her face was a frenzy of freckles
Her eyes as dark as they were blue
She pulled me in close
In the custom Continental, and
Told me exactly what to do

And then right away, I had wings for the day
And I looked on that line, I was over
Saw saints in the street and Freckled Mary on her knees
Making sure that no one died 'til we got old

And we all wanna be part of something bigger
But now all our friends, they're gone
They were taken in from the Rabbit Inn Rebellion
Into the paddy wagon
With Freckled Mary yelling firebomb (firebomb)

And then right away, I had wings for the day
And I looked on that line, I was over
Saw saints in the street and Freckled Mary on her knees
Making sure that no one died 'til we got old

And then right away, I had wings for the day
And I looked on that line, I was over
Saints on the street and Freckled Mary on her knees
Making sure that no one died 'til we got old
