Mary Mary where you been

You've been out all night

You ain't got no sleep



I've been dancing in the hills

At a place I know

She said 'and that's the place

Where the fire flies glow'



Had to slap my white face

Pull my head from the clouds



And I kept

Buying and, lying and flying, relying and dying

To know what spins her world around



Good morning I missed ya

But ya bring me down

I saw an Indian roller

Today on the line



It was the forty eighth hour

We fought our forty eighth fight

Madame Helga's folly

Is where I spent last night



She's been married not once

Not twice, but three

And that's the livin' lovin' woman

I want me to be



There were pictures and paintings

Of freaks like me

So I drank with my devil

For my company



Had to slap my white face

Pull my head from my clouds



And I kept

Buying and, lying and flying, relying and dying

To know what spins her world around



Good morning I missed ya

But ya bringing me down

I saw an Indian roller

Today on the line



It was the forty eighth hour

We fought our forty eighth fight

Madame Helga's folly

Is where I spent last night



Good morning I missed ya

But ya bringing me down

I saw an Indian roller

Today on the line



It was the forty eighth hour

We fought our forty eighth fight

Madame Helga's folly

Is where I spent last night
