Various Artists Along Comes Mary lyrics

Every time I think that I'm the only one who's lonely
Someone calls on me
And every now and then I spend my time at rhyme and verse
And curse those faults in me

And then along comes Mary
And does she want to give me kicks and be my steady chick
Give me pickles of memories or maybe rather gather tales
From all the fails and tribulations no one ever sees

When we met I was sure out to lunch
Now my empty cup tastes as sweet as the punch
(Sweet as the punch)

When vague desire is the fire
In the eyes of chicks whose sickness is the games they play
And when the masquerade is played the neighbor folks make jokes
At who is most to blame today

And then along comes Mary
And does she want to set them free and let them see reality
From where she got her name and will they struggle much
When told that such a tender touch of hers
Will make them not the same

When we met I was sure out to lunch
Now my empty cup tastes as sweet as the punch

(Sweet as the punch)

And when the morning of the warning's passed
The gassed and flaccid kids are flung across the stars
The psychodramas and the traumas gone
The songs have all been sung and hung upon the scars

And then along comes Mary
And does she want to see the stains
The dead remains of all the pain she left the night before
Or will their waking eyes reflect the lies and make them realize
Their urgent cry for sight no more

When we met I was sure out to lunch
Now my empty cup tastes as sweet as the punch
Sweet as the punch
(Sweet as the punch)

Sweet as the punch
(Sweet as the punch)
Sweet as the punch
(Sweet as the punch)
Sweet as the punch
