Mary-Jane,
I saw you sittin’ here the other day,
You’re here again and look the same way…
I guess certain things never change…
Now what you think of that?
Oh Mary-Jane,
I thought you might wanna talk a while…
D’ you have time to gimme some time?
‘Cause there’s something I got
And we both got…
Now do you have a doubt?
There’s light on everyone,
For worse or better
We got our better looks on
And play for bastards – Yeah!
Mary-Jane,
You’re just standing by the fast lane
And ready to dive – Well I’m sorry babe
The guy on the cross turned his head away…
Now what you think of that?
Oh Mary-Jane,
I guess you came in at the right time
We’re all part of the big time
And there’s something I got
And we both got…
Now do you have a doubt?
There’s light on everyone,
For worse or better
We got our better looks on
And play for bastards – Yeah!
And even the deaf and blind
Sing along through the night…
It’s only crap when it comes about
Being the best they ever had…
You’re my all-time number one
Being only just yourself…
