Mary Magdalene -

They say the losers come to you

And you’ll appreciate all that they’ve been through

Franz Kafka says we’re on trial

You say one day we’ll all look back and smile

Yes, I’ve heard of the straight and narrow road

Some say we’re selling out our moral code

Some say that in these troubled days

It’s the only job that pays

Well, Jimmy’s gone to Sunset Strip appealing for survival

And Johnny’s gone to Carolina with a stack of Bibles

I never know which side they want to see

Will you be their mirror when they cast their stones at me

'Cause sometimes I feel just like Mary Magdalene

I followed every voice that called to me

I’ve got to say so much for destiny

As spiders build their webs in my shoes

Lord, this must be the blues

Well Janey says you’ve got to find the perfect path to follow

And Jeannie says you’ll never find no ground that isn’t hollow

No more curtains to hide behind, it seems

Will I cast a longer shadow when he shines his light on me?

'Cause sometimes I feel just like Mary Magdalene
