Mary Songtext / Lyric

I met Mary on a moonless night

But her starry eyes could make the world look bright

She's young and perfect and full of life

And she said I'm gonna make it out one night

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 signs she wrote

I'm gonna make it out one night

I'm gonna make it out one night



So go on work all your angles out

Get a plan together, get your demons out

Mary, the world wants to bring you down

But don't you let 'em



Oh, oh, oh...






I ran into her in Union Square

But her starry eyes were looking dim and scared

With the cigarette providing all the light

She said I'm gonna make it out one night

I'm gonna make it out one night

It rained the night I said goodbye

When I lit her Camel never thought to cry

'Cause Mary, you never were the stayin' kind

You were gonna make it out one night

You were gonna make it out one night



So go on work all your angles out

Get a plan together, get your demons out

Mary, the world wants to bring you down

But don't you let 'em



Oh, oh, oh...



There's a moment that we chase

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



So go on work all your angles out

Get a plan together, get your demons out

Mary, the world wants to bring you down

But don't you let 'em



Oh, oh, oh...
