I've got a New Age Girl (tell us what she's like)
An environmentalist girl (does she ride a bike?)
She has a crystal necklace (she spend a lot of cash?)
Though her vibes are rather reckless (she's heading for a crash)
Her flowing skirt is blowing in a transcendental wind
And she wonders without knowing, where did we begin?
Mary Moon, she's a vegetarian (Mary Moon...)
Mary Moon, will outlive all the septuagenarians
Oh she loves me so, she hates to be alone
She don't eat meat, but she sure likes the bone.
You know she drives a wind car (how does she like it?)
It doesn't get her far (why doesn't she bike it?)
But it gets her to where she's going to (I don't know . . .)
I don't know where she's going,
and I don't know where she's been
All I know is loving her has gotta be a sin
chorus
Mary Moon will you hesitate
Don't segregate your thoughts from your emotions
I know devotion isn't way up high
Mary Moon, she's a vegetarian (Mary Moon...)
Mary Moon, will outlive all the septuagenarians
Oh she loves me so, she hates to be alone
She don't eat meat, but she sure likes the bone.
I feel it in my head, I feel it in my tiny heart
The way the world is built I'm sure that it will blow apart
The way the world is built I'm sure that is killing me
This little horror show is barely even thrilling me
Somebody's talking to me (who is it?)
Sounds like the perfect family
Somebody's staring at me
It looks like the perfect family
The father's in the den, his pipe is filled with razor blades
The mother's hanging from the little crochet noose she's made
And if you're wondering where the children are at twelve at night
They're dumpster diving and they're rolling bums
as high as kites.
Somebody's talking to me (who is it?)
Sounds like the perfect family
Somebody's staring at me
It looks like the perfect family
A little idle chatter, a little idle lust
A little token alibi that I'm supposed to trust
I'm aware, You crave the obvious
It's love that is killing me
It's love that is killing me
Your love is killing me
I'm not sure that I'm prepared to die
Agony and heartache, the pleasure of the pain
Little things you whisper to me, it makes me die again
chorus
Up and down, back and forth
Everything I had is yours
What I seek, you have found
The only way to go is down
And I'm aware
I hold your hand as your smile slips away
As you leave, there's nothing left to say
With no regrets, my love for you a crime
But let me say this one more time
Marguerite, even though you're gone
I can feel you in my heart
Marguerite, though you're free from harm
I still miss you Marguerite
I call you up, excuses you could make
For why I can't attend a second of your wake
Without a tear, I cast a spade of dirt
I must admit that it still hurts
chorus
I hear a voice, is it really you
To help me with the million things I do
You gave me love, and left me to my will
In ten or twenty years I'll miss you still
With one hand tied behind your back
On a good day
You tried to push through every crack
There are other ways
All bones and reluctant expression
Have you no sense of shame or discretion
You're the king of strategic digression
So easy to avoid
And if you want it, you can reason all you want
But sometimes you just have to take the oath
You live from day to day to year
With leases
Each thing you say you have to clear
Little speeches
Immune to the gentlest pervasion
That isn't even part of your equation
You feel the slightest duration
Do anything to avoid
chorus
Now you hang from the slightest of threads
You walk in a house of empty rooms
And frozen beds
Take the oath, and regret it if you will
You have the time to kill
So take it
One song can only do so much
On a good day
Don't try to use it as a crutch
There are other ways
As you sink in your alienation
Fighting vainly for justification
I see assured salvation
It's easy if you try
chorus
I've got a feeling in my head
I'm gonna take the oath until I'm dead
I can't believe the news today
I want to close my eyes and . . .
Anyone I can wake with a kiss
Anyone who I'm desperate to miss
Anyone who is willing to try
To be broken, to be glued
Anyone like you
Anyone who has opened her eyes
And anyone who refuses to lie
Anyone who is willing to try
To be broken, to be glued
Anyone like you
I don't want someone I can't lose
I don't need something to do
I don't crave sympathy for sale
Won't fight, won't win, won't lose
I don't need anyone
Just you
There's no denying, there's no remorse
There's no relying that you'll follow any course
But it's all over now
And I'm feeling all but spent
There's no believing always a doubt
There's no deceiving with your whispers or your shouts
And it's all over now
And I'm feeling absurd
Oh yes it's easy to be, easy to me
The one you always confuse
Oh yes it's easy to be, easy for me
The only one abused
I heard a voice
It was calling in the night
Gave me a choice to give up the fight
Or lose it over and over
chorus
There's no denying, there's no remorse
There's no relying, that you follow any course
But it's all over now
And I'm feeling unconcerned
But it's all over now
The only one you'll burn
But it's all over now
And I need your love
Like a shadow
Molly, I'm just out the bath
My hair is wringing wet
The things that you remember
I'd just assume forget
All the lies you told me while we were in the throes
Are better left unspoken
And though you said you loved me
With a trace of sincerity
"I'm sorry, please forgive me"
Is what I heard usually
My guiltiest confession even when I hate you most
I want you anyway
Oh Molly
Molly I just was a slave
To your helplessness and charms
At times I would deliver you
Into another man's arms
And simmer in my jealousy, my impatience, and lust
And rest away slowly
chorus
Molly I just have to run a pool of water at my feet
I know you wouldn't call unless there's
something that you need
Nine times out of ten, I'd come through for you still
But not today, baby
I'm not your friend
I'm not your confidante
I'm not your lover anymore
And I don't want to know the score
The details and the gore
Molly
As the bones of my reflection stare me squarely in the face
I'm not sure your resurrection would be a saving grace
And the terms of my endearment are an object lesson learned
I'm not sure you'll ever hear me, or ever did
Molly
I still want you
As if you turned around, or disconcerting sound
Replaces silence
And if you wonder why I wouldn't try to rhyme
My past with yours
But then you turn your eyes away
And when it's sleepytime, the list is so sublime
I have to choose
The story's long enough, and with the proper touch
How can I lose?
But then you turn your ears away
And then you inch right in
But nothing you have is for me
Cause when we are skin to skin
A piece of your heart is mine
Well that's a different story
And when you want to try, I wouldn't tell you why
Or whatever for
You needn't even ask why I'm not quite up to task
For your revival
So then I turn my heart away
chorus
And when I say goodbye, I won't shed a tear
I'm mad about you, but try?
Well, that's a different story
He was a frightened little man
He almost loved her more than I did
It seems he had a vague obsession
Yet never said a word
And then she moved away from me
She doesn't live here anymore
When last I had him on the phone
I crumpled up and I cried
And told him how she left me, disbelieving
Mine was an arrow that he narrowly escaped
He only asked me where she was
Time and time again he called here
For any trace of her
She hadn't left a clue
I read about him in the news
It seems he blew his face away
I watched them put him in the dirt
He was the lucky one
