mary take your big brown eyes and look away you re searching in vain mary take your big red heart and turn around they ll make you insane you know you re getting beat in the morning spend the night on the tiles you know you re only searching for glory but now you ve gone and missed it by miles mary take your healing hands and turn around there s nothing to save mary take you words of love and tear them out they re starting to fade you know you re gonna hurt in the morning spend the night all alone you know you re only searching for glory but now you gotta face it alone you know you re getting beat in the morning spend the night on the tiles you know you re only searching for glory but now you ve gone and missed it by miles mary you know this life s so sweet and filled with stuff that ain t yet dead mary you know we both had dreams but you re the one who got to live them instead
