Bury Mary

Lyrics

I'm tearing up the carpet and I'm putting in tile What if there happens to be a spill? A stain would cramp my style I wonder how I did get here to this awful place? Very well, there's work to be done Anyway, I could use the space I could use the space Tonight I'm going to bury Mary Tonight I'm going to bury her Tonight I'm going to fake a miracle I'll wait for the light of the moon; how I love the constellations! Especially Orion, we've had many conversations The handsome giant slew all the wild beasts For the protection of his love, Eos When he was blinded her rising sun Returned his eyes to their greenest Yes, to their greenest Tonight I'm going to bury Mary Tonight I'm going to bury her Tonight I'm going to fake a miracle I'm going to bury her china I'm going to bury her clothes I'm going to bury it in one fell swoop That's the best way, I suppose Ping-ping goes the shovel! Pang-pang goes the pail! The middle of summer And the furnace will be burning When she gets some mail! When she gets some mail! Tonight I'm going to bury Mary Tonight I'm going to bury her Tonight I'm going to fake a miracle
