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
