Along Comes Mary

Every time I think
That I'm the only one that’s lonely
Someone calls on me
And every time I think
That I’m home free and out of trouble
Something falls on me

And then along comes Mary
Does she wanna be me chicken
Give me steady kicks and pick a wicked memories?
Or would she rather not be bothered by the part of me
That no one ever sees?

When we met I was sure out to lunch
Now my empty cup is as sweet as the punch
When vague desire for the power is the sickness
In the eyes of chicks with games to play
And then the masquerade is played
When frightening folks make jokes
On who is most afraid today

And then along comes Mary
Does she want to set him free and let him see reality
From where she got her name?
Or will they suffer much
When told that such a tender touch as hers
Will make them not the same?

When we met I was sure out to lunch
Now my empty cup is as sweet as the punch

And now the kids that got too high
Are crying for another try
Cos there’s no place to land
The death wish games that burnt out brains
It’s called a thousand different names
Are everywhere at hand

And then, and then, and then along comes Mary
Does she know the names of all them pains
And insane dead remains
She left the night before?
Or will their flashing eyes reflect the lies
Until they realise
That there isn’t time to fight no more?

When we met I was sure out to lunch
Now my empty cup tastes as sweet as the punch
Ah ah, sweet as the punch
Ah ah, sweet as the punch
