Mary

(albüm: Last Chance At The Romance Dance - 2001)

She lifts the cup up to her lips
And leaves reality behind
She looks away and takes a sip
She's lost what can she find
Her thoughts become weary
She feels a step behind
Her life's been slowly slipping
Away from friends and time

[CHORUS:]
Mary drinks
And Mary thinks
And soon she'll lie down
Just to break down and cry
It's so degrading
She is slowly fading
Mary drinks then she'll
Break down and cry

Mary weeps then she sleeps
One more day slipping away
She's drowning in the shallow end
The rules she can't obey
On the surface so callous
Silent screams subside
A life without a purpose
Her will has already died

[CHORUS:]
Mary drinks
And Mary thinks
And soon she'll lie down
Just to break down and cry
It's so degrading
She is slowly fading
Mary drinks then she'll
Break down and cry

Shadow dreaming
Can't feel a thing
Her ends they start to fray
And then she fades away
Shadow dreaming
She can't know pain
Can't feel a thing
Can't feel a thing
She can't feel a thing

Mary drinks
And Mary thinks
And soon she'll lie down
Break down and cry

[CHORUS:]
Mary drinks
And Mary thinks
And soon she'll lie down
Just to break down and cry
It's so degrading
She is slowly fading
Mary drinks then she'll
Break down and cry
