blaming mary jane I'm drinking cheap -bahrein-
she's getting prettier by the ....
she says i should care more for
the rich and the poor but i
can't find the energy blame mary jane
I'm gonna close my eyes to the morning papers
shut my ear to the news
I'm gonna lose my soul in the lonesome afternoon
yes i am
speak plain mary jane
could you give your hand to a man that
never gave a damn
that's why i rather sleep than thinking
nothing more than drinking
all i want is to blame mary jane
I'm gonna close my eyes to the morning papers
shut my ear to the news
I'm gonna lose my soul to the long lonesome
afternoons, yes i am
I'm gonna close my eyes to the morning papers
shut my ear to the news
I'm gonna lose my soul to the lonesome afternoon
oh maybe i won't be your whipping boy
i won't be your whipping boy
shame baby shame oh shame sweet mary jane
i truly do love you
she said that i should care more
for that body of yours
if you carry the weight of the world oh my
I'm gonna close my eyes to the morning papers
shut my ear to the news
I'm gonna lose my soul in the long lonesome afternoon
yes i am
I'm gonna close my eyes to the morning papers
shut my ear to the news
I'm gonna lose my soul in the lonesome afternoon
maybe i will be your whipping boy
maybe i will
