 MANHATTAN TRANSFER - Along Comes Mary Lyrics

n23 2035l1121118m 14n

n23 2035l1121118m 14n
Every time I think that I'm the only one who's lonely
n23 2035l1121118m 14n
someone calls on me
n23 2035l1121118m 14n
And every now and then, I spend my time at rhyme
n23 2035l1121118m 14n
and verse and curse those faults in me
n23 2035l1121118m 14n
But then Along Comes Mary-and does she wanna
n23 2035l1121118m 14n
give me kicks and be my steady chick
n23 2035l1121118m 14n
and give me pick of memories-
n23 2035l1121118m 14n
Or maybe rather gather tales from all the fails and
n23 2035l1121118m 14n
tribulations no one ever sees
n23 2035l1121118m 14n

n23 2035l1121118m 14n
When we met, I was sure out to lunch
n23 2035l1121118m 14n
Now my empty cup tastes as sweet as the punch
n23 2035l1121118m 14n

n23 2035l1121118m 14n
When vague desire is the fire in the eyes of chicks
n23 2035l1121118m 14n
whose sickness is in the games they play-
n23 2035l1121118m 14n
And when the masquerade is played and neighbor
n23 2035l1121118m 14n
folks make jokes about who is most to blame today
n23 2035l1121118m 14n
And the Along Comes Mary-and does she wanna
n23 2035l1121118m 14n
set them free
n23 2035l1121118m 14n
and make them see realities from which she
n23 2035l1121118m 14n
got her name-
n23 2035l1121118m 14n
And will they struggle much when told that such a
n23 2035l1121118m 14n
tender touch
n23 2035l1121118m 14n
of hers will make them not the same
n23 2035l1121118m 14n

n23 2035l1121118m 14n
When we met, I was sure out to lunch-
n23 2035l1121118m 14n
Now my empty cup tastes as sweet as the punch
n23 2035l1121118m 14n

n23 2035l1121118m 14n
[Breakdown]
n23 2035l1121118m 14n
Oh here she comes along - along she comes
n23 2035l1121118m 14n
Oh Mary comes along - oh here she comes
n23 2035l1121118m 14n
Ba ba ba - Ba ba ba
n23 2035l1121118m 14n
Sweet as the punch
n23 2035l1121118m 14n

n23 2035l1121118m 14n
Then when the morning of the warning's passed, the
n23 2035l1121118m 14n
gassed and
n23 2035l1121118m 14n
flaccid kids are flung across the stars-
n23 2035l1121118m 14n
The psychodramas and the traumas gone, the songs
n23 2035l1121118m 14n
are left unsung
n23 2035l1121118m 14n
and hung upon the scars-
n23 2035l1121118m 14n
And the Along Comes Mary - And does she wanna
n23 2035l1121118m 14n
see the stains-
n23 2035l1121118m 14n
the dead remains of all the pains she sent the night
n23 2035l1121118m 14n
before
n23 2035l1121118m 14n
Or will their waking eyes reflect the lies and make
n23 2035l1121118m 14n
them realize their urgent
n23 2035l1121118m 14n
cries for sight no more
n23 2035l1121118m 14n

n23 2035l1121118m 14n
When we met, I was sure out to lunch
n23 2035l1121118m 14n
Now my empty cup tastes as sweet as the punch
n23 2035l1121118m 14n
Sweet as the punch [sweet as the punch]
n23 2035l1121118m 14n
Sweet as the punch [sweet as the punch]
n23 2035l1121118m 14n
Sweet as the punch [sweet as the punch]
n23 2035l1121118m 14n
Sweet as the punch [sweet as the punch]
n23 2035l1121118m 14n
