Lyrics:
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 in rhyme
And verse and curse those faults in me

And then along comes Mary
And does she want to give me kicks
And be my steady chick and give me pick of memories
Or maybe rather gather tales of 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

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 neighbour folks make jokes
As who is most to blame today

And then along comes Mary
And does she want to set them free
And let them see reality from where she got her name
And will they struggle much when told that such a tender touch
As 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

And when the morning of the warnings 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
And does she want to see the stains
The dead remains of all the pains she left the night before
Or will their waking eyes reflect the lies, and make them
Realise their urgent cry for sight no more

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