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      But then along comes Mary   And does she wanna give me kicks   And be my steady chick and give me pick of memories?   Or maybe rather gather tales   From all the fails and tribulations   No one ever sees      When we met, I was sure out to lunch   Now my empty cup tastes as sweet as the punch   Sweet as the punch      When vague desire is the fire in the eyes of chicks   Whose sickness is in the games they play   And when the masquerade is played and neighbor   Folks make jokes about who is most to blame today?      And the along comes Mary   And does she wanna set them free and make them see realities   From which she got her name?   And will they struggle much   When told that such a tender touch of hers?   Will make them not the same?      When we met, I was sure out to lunch   Now my empty cup tastes as sweet as the punch      Comes along, oh here she comes   Oh Mary comes along, along she comes   So here she comes along, oh here she comes   Oh Mary comes along, along she comes   Sweet as the punch, sweet as the punch      And the along comes Mary   And does she wanna set them free and make them see realities   From which she got her name?   And will they struggle much   When told that such a tender touch of hers?   Will make them not the same?      When we met, I was sure out to lunch   Now my empty cup tastes as sweet as the punch   Sweet as the punch      Then 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 the Along Comes Mary   And does she wanna see the stains   The dead remains of all the pains she sent the night before   Or will their waking eyes reflect the lies   And make them realize their urgent cries for sight no more      When we met, I was sure out to lunch   Now my empty cup tastes as sweet as the punch      Sweet as the punch   Sweet as the punch   Sweet as the punch   ...
