lyrics

Oh Mary Mary
Peggy Ray
Don't you let them get away

with making fun of you
for being who you are
the only daughter of a drinking man
who could not take the pain of lucid mornings
the thought of knowing all the wrong is always wrong
that dark is dark
right is right
and left is left

and foggy worlds and camping tents
and shanty towns all in your head
and stranger love and high and dry are lies

she says her mother had a running commentary
on everything and everyone
far too loud and far too offensive
she gave a picture to the campus police

Oh Mary Mary
Peggy Ray
your own flesh and blood

if he could love you maybe
if there's a place
a grander scheme and ringing bells
then maybe when you're feeling wide awake
you'll take your pills and stay a while

Oh Mary Mary
Peggy Ray
you don't have to go away

all travelled out now
wrapped around it
stuck in transit
can't see through it

there was no running water
he was three years old
head on the tracks now
you kneel
and pray
