about

Whimsical dreamscape

lyrics

Wicked ways in a wicked world and
I come home to nothing
Dark house on a dark street
Thunderous rain pourin’ on my new shoes
My new suede shoes

Mary Lou, Mary Lou what am I gonna do with you?
From within a dream I head myself shout
Mary Lou Mary Lou, what in the world am I gonna do with you?
See I’m so far from drying up
Or drying out

I can control the rising tide
Keep ‘em in check ‘til I let them play
Storm clouds call me by my real name:
Gringo Numero Uno
Gringo Numero Uno

No snow fall without my word
The summer breeze doesn’t turn
The weathervane without my say
Crowds rollin’ in
The rest runnin’ in reverse
A smirk and a fork
Ready to stick the pin
To the cork board

Mary Lou, Mary Lou what am I gonna do with you?
I’ve got my coat on and I’m ready to cut loose
Mary Lou, Mary Lou what in the world am I gonna do with you?
I ain’t got time to ponder no alternate
Universe

Getting caught in a fishermen’s net
Looking up to see the blue skies
You know playing crazy all the time
Can get so tiring
Can get so damn tiring

Ikons dangle from the necks of the pious
Without the slightest regard for the highest
Creator, Matriarch, or Benefactor
Or whichever faction you represent
Or whichever faction you represent

Mary Lou, Mary Lou what in the world am I gonna do with you?
My patichka you treat me so unkind
Mary Lou, Mary Lou what in the world am I gonna do with you?
Every step I take is a landmine

Fall in where you think you might be wanted
Jump from rooftop to rooftop
Get harassed
Get taunted
Then just move on
Then just move on
