Watch MUNA perform ‘Mary Jane’ in a new live session
The Los Angeles trio revisit a cut from their fourth studio record.
Lyrics
Pulled up, quarter to eleven Waited a minute till you went in We talked and then we stopped talking Put on a song and we listened I know that I make you nervous I do it half on purpose You know I think you're precious Yeah, I think you're a good person
So why do I want to blow up your life? I'll be a very good girl I won't even think about it I'm just feeling like I can't help it I know you said you had a girlfriend I just want it if it's taken (If it's taken) Dad left when I was eleven
Mom said it was 'cause he couldn't Keep from touching other women Some things have a way of sticking And now I'm standing in your kitchen You said you told her you were leaving And I can't help thinking I hate you 'cause you're just like him So why did I have to blow up your life?
I'll be a very good girl I won't even think about it I'm just feeling like I can't help it I know you said you had a girlfriend I just want it, I just thought that If I could take it from her Maybe then it would prove that I'm worth something Now I'm alone and I'm hurt
Wishing I'd taken you at your word When you said that you were taken I'll be a very good girl I won't even think about it I'm just feeling like I can't help it I know you said you had a girlfriend I just want it if it's taken I know you said I just want it

The Los Angeles trio revisit a cut from their fourth studio record.
If MUNA had a peak, they have just moved it upwards.
The trio preview their forthcoming album 'Dancing on the Wall' with a new track.
Though by her own admission 'What A Relief' is a side-project before she returns to Greatest Band In The World™ MUNA, when Katie Gavin has something to say, you'd better listen.
