Black Mary

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
