Mary

I met Mary on a moonless night
 But her starry eyes could make the world look bright
 She's young and perfect and full of life
 And she said I'm gonna make it out one night
 Gonna make it out one night
 As time passed we both got old
 From the bar she lived above she sat and wrote
 By the light of blue and yellow neon signs she wrote
 I'm gonna make it out one night
 I'm gonna make it out one night
 So go on work all your angles out
 Get a plan together, get your demons out
 Mary, the world wants to bring you down
 But don't you let 'em
 Oh, oh, oh...
 I ran into her in Union Square
 But her starry eyes were looking dim and scared
 With the cigarette providing all the light
 She said I'm gonna make it out one night
 I'm gonna make it out one night
 It rained the night I said goodbye
 When I lit her Camel never thought to cry
 'Cause Mary, you never were the stayin' kind
 You were gonna make it out one night
 You were gonna make it out one night
 So go on work all your angles out
 Get a plan together, get your demons out
 Mary, the world wants to bring you down
 But don't you let 'em
 Oh, oh, oh...
 There's a moment that we chase
 And we fall along the way
 'Cause we're not looking when we run
 And if that moment never comes
 Save your breath
 We only get so many trips around the sun
 And there's no lucky stars
 So go on work all your angles out
 Get a plan together, get your demons out
 Mary, the world wants to bring you down
 But don't you let 'em
 Oh, oh, oh...
