Mary - Bleecker

Mary can’t sleep unless it’s perfectly dark

After five shots of tequila we’re running naked through the park

She says there’s no point in sleeping

If we really don’t want to wake up

Let’s go see if the angels are dancing

'cos I’m spinning and I don’t want to stop

I don’t want to stop

Mary Queen of the Bar — wild, close to crazy

Mary Queen of the Bar — hot, bold and hazy

Mary’s got a dog and drives a wrecked up car

Says I don’t expect to make much money when I’m working in a bar

But I can pay my rent and I can feed my dog

And on Sundays I’m happy ‘cos Sundays are off

It’s not like I’m gonna stay here forever

One of these days I’ll leave and take off

Yeah I’ll leave and take off

Mary Queen of the Bar — wild, close to crazy

Mary Queen of the Bar — hot, bold and hazy

For a while I was happy there under her reign

Celebrated as royalty by the weak and insane

Floating along, floating along

Floating along, floating along

Floating along, we were floating along

Mary is a painting in violet and black

Got a wall full of faces staring at me and I can’t stare back

Some are of angels and some are of ghosts

And some of them she choose not to comment at all

Take of her clothes lays down there and looks at me

It’s funny she says — that angels can fall

Yeah that angels can fall — with the wings and all

Mary Queen of the Bar — wild, close to crazy

Mary Queen of the Bar — hot, bold and hazy

Mary Queen of the Bar — wild, close to crazy

Mary Queen of the Bar — hot, bold and hazy

This side of Eden the winters are cold
