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
