PATTY GRIFFIN LYRICS - Regarding Mary

"Regarding Mary"



Mary, Mary, Mary, mo ma ma mo Mary, Mary, Mary...

She comes swinging in

With her tire iron

She hits everything in sight

When she gets flying

And in the end no one survives

No, sakes alive

They all die



She hates the morning

She hates the light

She hates the darkness of the night

She hates herself most of all oh

She can't walk

She only crawls and

What we gonna do about Mary

When there is no getting out of your own way oh

What we gonna do about Mary

I wish that we could send her away

Mary, Mary, Mary mo ma ma mo, Mary, Mary Mary...



We go walking sometimes

Where she can't follow

When we return

It's her drink we swallow

And everytime we feel so hollow

We wonder will we see tomorrow



And it isn't easy

And it isn't plain

We try to lose her, but she remains and so

Maybe we will all go insane oh

Just like Mary yeah

Just like Mary well

Just like Mary yeah

Just like Mary oh

Mary, Mary, Mary, mo ma ma mo, Mary, Mary, Mary...



And this life we had and

This little slice

Were words she just sacrificed

And if this keeps up

This cold cold rain oh

We will surely lose our way



What we gonna do about Mary

When there is no getting out of your own way oh

What we gonna do about Mary

I wish that we could send her away

Mary, Mary, Mary mo ma ma mo, Mary, Mary Mary...

MARY

MARY

MARY

MARY...

Mary, Mary, Mary, mo ma ma mo, Mary, Mary, Mary...
