As you drag your feet through the swamp of your home You realise you're happiest left alone Some time to kick up your feet and realise what's wrong Some time to chew your thoughts down to the bone All the money you said you saved Working those hours on the minimum wage You saved your coins like nuts in the winter but You never turned from a squirrel to a sparrow when Spring came Are you coming down? I said Mary, Mary you're always so sad I said Mary, this is the best life you'll ever have As you comb through the knots of your routine Taking steps forward to where you've already been Oh you drag your hips to the beats of 'Billie Jean' But you dance like a rusty machine All the money you said you saved Working those hours on the minimum wage You saved your coins like nuts in the winter but You never turned from a squirrel to a sparrow when Spring came Are you coming down? I said Mary, Mary you're always so sad I said Mary, this is the best life you'll ever have And around and around and around we go And around and around and around we go
