Jesus & Mary
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Remember when you said we'd marry
The wilder shores of love
The tide, it changes fast
Ah when you're fast it never lasts
I cannot read between your lines
You cannot make me read your tiny mind
Oh who's got the time
Oh you'd go blind
Jesus and Mary
Are takin' me down to the other side of town
Where they don't count the days
With steel blades on the walls of time
They just dance naked in the sun all the time
She's the jewel in your crown
But I'm the goal that's gonna weigh you down
I'll keep you around this dirty old town
Every time I put the stove on
Dinner's cold by the time you come over
Oh you turn over on that cold shoulder
Jesus and Mary
Are takin' me down to the other side of town
Where they don't count the days
With steel blades on the walls of time
They just dance naked in the sun all the time
And you call and you call my name
Baby, hazy, lazy
Oh I am not an animal
When I lie back, I lie on my back
Baby, hazy, lazy
Oh I'll sign on the dotted line
Don't bring me down
Don't bring me down
Don't bring me down, no
Don't bring me down
Don't bring me down
Don't bring me down
Don't bring me down
