Mary Queen Of Arkansas |
Mary queen of Arkansas, it's not too early for dreamin'
The sky is grown with cloud seed sown and a bastard's love can be redeeming
Mary, my queen, your soft hulk is reviving
No, you're not too late to desecrate, the servants are just rising
Well, I'm just a lonely acrobat, the livewire is my trade
I've been a shine boy for your acid brat and a wharf rat of your state
Mary, my queen, your blows for freedom are missing
Oh, you're not man enough for me to hate or woman enough for kissing
Oh, the big top is for dreamers, we can take the circus all the way to the border
Oh, and the gallows wait for martyrs whose papers are in order
But I was not born to live to die and you were not born for queenin'
Oh, it's not too late to infiltrate, the servants are just leavin'
Mary queen of Arkansas, your white skin is deceivin'
You wake and wait, ooh, to lie in bait and you almost got me believin'
But on your bed, Mary, I can see the shadow of a noose
Whoa, I don't understand how you can hold me so tight and love me so damn loose
But I know a place where we can go, Mary
Where I can get a good job and start out all over again clean
Oh, I got contacts deep in Mexico where the servants have been seen

Mary Queen Of Arkansas (Tracks) |
Mary queen of Arkansas, it's not too early for dreamin'
The sky is grown with cloud seed sown and this bastard's love is redeeming
Mary, my queen, your soft hulk is reviving
Oh, and you're not too late to desecrate, servants are just rising
Well, I'm just a lonely acrobat, the livewire is my trade
I've been a change man at your laundromat and a wharf rat of your state
Mary, my queen, your blows for freedom are missing
Oh, you're not man enough for me to hate or woman enough for kissing
Well the big top is for dreamers, we can take the circus all the way to the border
And the gallows wait for martyrs whose papers are in order
But I wasn't born to live to die and you were not born for queenin'
Oh it's not too late, we can still infiltrate, the servants are just leavin'
Well, Mary queen of Arkansas, your white skin is deceivin'
Oh, you wake and wait to lie in bait but you know you can't keep me from leavin'
Because on your bed, on your bed Mary, I see the shadow of a noose
I don't understand how you can hold me so tight and love me so loose
And I know a place where we can go, Mary
Where I can get a good job and start out all over again clean
I got contacts deep in Mexico where the servants have been seen
