Ev´rybody wants something from you
Ev´rybody wants a piece of Mary
Lush valley all dressed in green,
Just ripe for the picking
God, I want to get you out of here,
You can ride in a pink Mustang
When I think of what we´ve done to you,
Oh, Mary, can you hear me?
Growing up isn´t always fun,
They tore your dress and stole your ribbons
They see you cry, they lick their lips,
But butterflies don´t belong in nets
Oh, Mary, can you hear me?
Mary, you´re bleeding. Mary, don´t be afraid
We´re just waking up and I hear help is on the way
Mary, can you hear me?
Mary, like Jimmy said. Mary, don´t be afraid
´Cause even the wind, even the wind cries your name
Ev´rybody wants you sweetheart
Ev´rybody got a dream of glory
Las Vegas got a pinup girl
They got her armed as they buy and sell her
Rivers of milk running dry,
Can´t you hear the dolphins crying?
What´ll we do when our babies scream,
Fill their mouths with some acid rain?
Oh, Mary, can you hear me?
Mary, you´re bleeding. Mary, don´t be afraid
We´re just waking up and I hear help is on the way
Mary, can you hear me?
Mary, like Jimmy said. Mary, don´t be afraid
´Cause even the wind, even the wind cries your name
Oh, butterflies don´t belong in nets
