Just To Watch Maria Dance

Our Greyhounds are for leaving
When all you've got is gone
Born and broke like a dozen eggs
That shattered on the lawn

It's not like no one told you
The way it always ends
The aching morning after
Too broke to even bend

Go soak up all that neon
Burn reckless through the night
Spend your heart and money
Crash and jagged for the light
There's one more heartless angel
With whom you stand no chance
Feed your quarters to the jukebox
Just to watch Maria dance

Now you don't think much of nothing
When you think it all
See the battered wreckage, where you spun it off the wall
If Grehounds are for leaving
You might as well be gone
Empty threats and no regrets
It's time for moving on

Go soak up all that neon
Burn reckless through the night
Spend your heart and money
Crashed and jagged toward the light
There's one more heartless angel
With whom you stand no chance
Feed your quarters to the jukebox
Just to watch Maria dance

Feed your quarters to the jukebox
Just to watch Maria dance
