Intro 2x

Every time I think that I'm 
The only one who's lonely someone 
Calls on me 
And every now and then I spend 
My time at rhyme and verse and curse those 
Faults in me 

And then along comes Mary 
Mary Mary 
Then along comes Mary 
Mary Mary 

Pre-Chorus 1x
And does she want to give me kicks 
And be my steady chick and give me pick 
Of memories? 

Pre-Chorus 1x
Or maybe rather gather tales from all the 
Fails and tribulations no one 
Ever sees? 

Chorus 1 - 1x
When we met I was sure out to lunch 
Now my empty cup tastes as sweet as the punch 
Sweet as the punch 

Intro 2x

When vague desire is the fire in 
The eyes of chicks whose sickness is the 
Games they play 
And when the masquerade is played and neighbor 
Folks make jokes as who is most to 
Blame today 

And then along comes Mary 
Mary Mary 
Then along comes Mary 
Mary Mary 

Pre-Chorus 1x
And does she want to set them free 
And let them see reality from where she 
Got her name? 

Pre-Chorus 1x
And will they struggle much when told that such 
A tender touch of hers will make them 
Not the same? 

Chorus 1 - 1x
When we met I was sure out to lunch 
Now my empty cup tastes as sweet as the punch 
Sweet as the punch 

Intro 2x

And when the morning of the warning's passed 
The gassed and flaccid kids are flung 
Across the stars 

The psychodramas and the traumas gone 
The songs are left unsung and hung 
Upon the scars 

And then along comes Mary 
Mary Mary 
Then along comes Mary 
Mary Mary 

Pre-Chorus 1x
And does she want to see the stains the 
Dead remains of all the pains she left the 
Night before? 

Pre-Chorus 1x
Or will their wakin' eyes reflect the lies 
And make them realize their urgent cry for 
Sight no more? 

Chorus 1x
When we met I was sure out to lunch 
Now my empty cup tastes as sweet as the punch 
Sweet as the punch 

Intro - 2x
 
Chorus 1 - 2x
When we met I was sure out to lunch 
Now my empty cup tastes as sweet as the punch 
When we met I was sure out to lunch 
Now my empty cup tastes as sweet as the punch 

Chorus 2 - 2x(p.m)
When we met I was sure out to lunch 
Now my empty cup tastes as sweet as the punch 
When we met I was sure out to lunch 
Now my empty cup tastes as sweet as the punch 

Chorus 2 - 2x
When we met I was sure out to lunch 
Now my empty cup tastes as sweet as the punch 
When we met I was sure out to lunch 
Now my empty cup tastes as sweet as the punch 
Sweet as the punch
