Lyrics
You've got time to be somewhere without me
You've got time to be somewhere alone
Everyone I know just thinks I'm crazy for calling you my home
Everyone I know's just making movies
Acting like it's some forgotten fame
If I don't know the ending of the story than how can I complain
It's a shame
walking away
walking away
walking away these days
A crying shame
people are strange
people are strange
people are strange
So Mary
Don't turn off the lights quite yet
Mary
Don't put out that cigarette
Mary
Don't tell me that my love for you is strained
Right now my love for you remains the same
Everyone I knows just painting pictures
Acting like a shadow to my brain
I don't know if it might be a shadow or maybe I'm insane
It's a shame
walking away
walking away
walking away these days
A crying shame
people are strange
people are strange
people are strange
So Mary
Don't turn off the lights quite yet
Mary
Don't put out that cigarette
Mary
Don't tell me that my love for you is strained
Right now my love for you remains the same
Cause I've been shamed
By the Gods of the Underworld I should say
And every day
We commit our soul's and bodies to outer space
So Mary
Don't turn off the lights quite yet
Mary
Don't put out that cigarette
Mary
Don't tell me that my love for you is strained
Right now my love for you remains the same
