Maria Ave

I Step into the road
Pearls on velvet: the sky
I Step into the road
I wait for June to greet July and I feel so cold
An Angel comes down to earth tonight
An Angel comes down to earth tonight
I leave my post to converse with a ghost
And we talk of our lives and our times
"My punch clock is called doomsday," she said
They'll give you a card when you die
I tell her she reminds me of someone I once knew
She tells me that I flatter her
I insist, "You really do"
Now, I'm not in the habit of chatting it up
With those beyond the grave
But this one seemed nice enough
She spoke in the key of A
I felt obliged to ask her about
The world on the other side
But then I reconsidered
That can wait till I die
I leave my post to converse with a ghost
And we talk of our lives and our times
"My punch clock is called doomsday," she said
They'll give you a card when you die
I tell her she reminds me of someone I once knew
She tells me that I flatter her
I insist, "You really do"
I check a signpost to see where I am
Maria Avenue
And I feel so cold
Maria Avenue
Where am I now?
Maria Avenue
I feel so cold
Maria Avenue
Maria Avenue
