Mary

I am so completely on the out
I've got nothing here to help me keep it in
And so they told me to get help
But I just can't start that again
I think they'd lock me up for good
If they heard this one
And throw away my only key
That damned doctor's just to glad to treat me

Damn prick called again today
Said he's missing me again
It's like he knows how bad I want to
Keeping my ass all drugged up
Yes, and sleepy, sleeping in
But you know that's my fault too
So just what happens when the hate gets to you

Oh baby take a breather, he says
Oh baby close your eyes again
And there's a black bird down at Michael's gate
That cries, Let her in, Let her in
Oh baby don't you say another word to me
Just let me in
I won't do it again
I swear to God, I'm sorry

And so we stopped at some place
Called the Mira Mar Inn
And with half a head
Think I remember
Seeing that sizzling sun sink in
Wondering if I drove it to the edge
Would it burn a hole right through my skin
Or could I jump off this time
And save myself from drowning

Loves to hear me breathing, he says
Love to feel that warm, soft skin
And there's a black bird down at Michael's gate
That cries, Let her in, Let her in
I swear to God, if you say one more word to me
Awe, just let me in
I won't do it again
I swear to God, I'm sorry

And she cried and she cried
As she drove like a frantic
From that terrible place
Got so numb
Couldn't feel a thing except her stinging face

The seventh demon is letting go now
The seventh demon is breaking hold now
Miss Mary wants to go back home now
She wants to make it safe and sound now
She wants to kiss the ground at her mother's feet
Now Miss Mary can see
Michael, let her in
Let her in, she is sorry
She is sorry
