Black Mary bless your heart Born at the end of an age Where the punk rock girls fake all their grit And they love in the very same way But you were their jackknife queen Ransacked and agonized By the virgin boys and their rabid swing They scratch at your door in the dead of night Foaming at the mouth screaming Take a side or just leave But she can't turn down A nice little kiss from a fool like me, She's a thief She stole every white flag, wet dream, Wandering eye Those boys fail to keep her Every time they try Black Mary, what's it like To dive in deep with the dead? To curse the fools and their whiskey jive? To join in on what you resent? The church says you've gone insane The nurse says you've got to get out But you're stuck inside where you pray for rain You watch out your window at a heavy cloud But nothing ever falls in your lovesick drought, so it seems But she can't turn down a nice little kiss From a fool like me, she's a thief She stole every white flag, wet dream, wandering eye Those boys fail to keep her every time they try But it's you that I hate to leave, Oh you know that I'll fall apart It's through you I learned to love The brightest side of the dark
