It’s clear he’s singing about Ketamine (a sedative and pain killer given to soldiers in war times) and seeking it out. There seems to be another theme but perhaps someone else can elaborate on what that might be?
[Verse 1]
Almost forgot, started to say
Rode into the sun, past everyone
Hallelujah, pretty Mary K
[Verse 2]
I found faith in the infirmary
There's a soldier lying in bed
With a wound to the head
Calling out to pretty Mary K
Here's what you get
For things that haven't happened yet
[Verse 3]
I happened upon pretty Mary K
But a soldier to the fore waved you away
I walk round the dock
And talk to St. James
Though I'm already done
[Verse 4]
And ask everyone
"Have you seen her?"
Pretty Mary K
Have you seen her?
Pretty Mary K
