Mary Mary Sea Serpent

(album: M - 2020)

There was a four-lane road
With the mafia soul
It was made out of sand
From the devil's own hand
Where the city light gleams
Out to kings and to queens
Where the family name
Was the town from where you came

Mary, Mary, Mary, Mary, Mary, Mary, sea serpent
I love you so

It was the Dust Bowl days
When they said you couldn't stay
So your daddy moved you east
To the Oyster Bay streets
Brother Peter left you
In a B-17
While your sisters watched the news
In the cinema pews

It was the only way to know
Where a squadron goes
If he's ever coming back
Through a sea of burning flags
Say goodbye to the twins
No original sin
One day, you're gonna be
Grandmother to us three

Mary, Mary, Mary, Mary, Mary, Mary, sea
Mary, Mary, Mary, Mary, Mary, Mary, sea
Mary, Mary, Mary, Mary, Mary, Mary, sea
Mary, Mary, Mary, Mary, Mary, Mary, sea
Mary, Mary, Mary, Mary, Mary, Mary, sea serpent
I love you so

Mary, Mary, Mary, Mary, Mary, Mary, sea
Mary, Mary, Mary, Mary, Mary, Mary, sea
Mary, Mary, Mary, Mary, Mary, Mary, sea
Mary, Mary, Mary, Mary, Mary, Mary, sea

There was a four-lane road
With the mafia soul
It was made out of sand
From the devil's own hand
Where the city light gleams
Out to kings and to queens
Where the family name
Was the town from where you came

Mary, Mary, Mary, Mary, Mary, Mary, sea
Mary, Mary, Mary, Mary, Mary, Mary, sea
Mary, Mary, Mary, Mary, Mary, Mary, sea
Mary, Mary, Mary, Mary, Mary, Mary, sea

Mary, Mary, Mary, Mary, Mary, Mary, sea
Mary, Mary, Mary, Mary, Mary, Mary, sea
Mary, Mary, Mary, Mary, Mary, Mary, sea
Mary, Mary, Mary, Mary, Mary, Mary, sea

It was the Dust Bowl days
When they said you couldn't stay
So your daddy moved you east
To the Oyster Bay streets (I love you so)
Brother Peter left you
In a B-17
While your sisters watched the news
In the cinema pews
