Manhattan Transfer - Along Comes Mary Lyrics
Every time I think that Im the only one whos lonelySomeone calls on meAnd every now and then, I spend my time at rhymeAnd verse and curse those faults in meBut then along comes mary-and does she wannaGive me kicks and be my steady chickAnd give me pick of memories-Or maybe rather gather tales from all the fails andTribulations no one ever seesWhen we met, I was sure out to lunchNow my empty cup tastes as sweet as the punchWhen vague desire is the fire in the eyes of chicksWhose sickness is in the games they play-And when the masquerade is played and neighborFolks make jokes about who is most to blame todayAnd the along comes mary-and does she wannaSet them freeAnd make them see realities from which sheGot her name-And will they struggle much when told that such aTender touchOf hers will make them not the sameWhen we met, I was sure out to lunch-Now my empty cup tastes as sweet as the punch(breakdown)Oh here she comes along - along she comesOh mary comes along - oh here she comesBa ba ba - ba ba baSweet as the punchThen when the morning of the warnings passed, theGassed andFlaccid kids are flung across the stars-The psychodramas and the traumas gone, the songsAre left unsungAnd hung upon the scars-And the along comes mary - and does she wannaSee the stains-The dead remains of all the pains she sent the nightBeforeOr will their waking eyes reflect the lies and makeThem realize their urgentCries for sight no moreWhen we met, I was sure out to lunchNow my empty cup tastes as sweet as the punchSweet as the punch (sweet as the punch)Sweet as the punch (sweet as the punch)Sweet as the punch (sweet as the punch)Sweet as the punch (sweet as the punch)
