Black Mariah

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.

I can stand at the back and still be the first in line

I can take you out with just one look in the eye

Make no mistake I'm coming on after you

When you say those things, what d'ya want me to do?

Safe to say you've gone and messed up good

Let's see if you're still standing when I'm facing

you

Want the first shot like cowards always have

Take it but make it good or you'll wind up dead

Take it but make it good

Hey Black Mariah

Welcome in, no life, no reason

Hey Black Mariah

Finding something to believe in

Hey Black Mariah

Welcome in, no life, no reason

(always on my, always on my mind)

The situation's almost got me down

Thrown in the back and driven right out of time

Face the facts, the writings on the wall

Morning, noon and night, can you hear me call?

Morning, noon and night

Hey Black Mariah

Welcome in, no life, no reason

Hey Black Mariah

Finding something to believe in

Hey Black Mariah

Welcome in, no life, no reason

(always on my, always on my mind)

Something to believe in

Hey Black Mariah

Welcome in, no life, no reason

Hey Black Mariah

Finding something to believe in

Hey Black Mariah

Welcome in, no life, no reason

Hey Black Mariah

Finding something to believe in

(always on my, always on my mind)
