Tori Amos
"Mary"


Everybody wants something from you
Everybody want a piece of Mary
Lush valley all dressed in green
Just ripe for the picking
God I want to get you out of here
You can ride in a pink Mustang
When I think of what we've done to you
Mary, can you hear me?

Growing up isn't always fun
They tore your dress
And stole your ribbons
They see you cry
They lick their lips
Butterflies don't belong in nets

Mary
Can you hear me?
Mary
You're bleeding
Mary
Don't be afraid
We're just waking up
And I hear help is on the way
Mary
Can you hear me?
Mary
Like Jimi said
Mary
Don't be afraid
'Cause even the wind
Even the wind cries your name

Everybody wants you sweetheart
Everybody got a dream of glory
Las Vegas got a pin-up girl
They got her armed
As they buy and sell her
Rivers of milk are running dry
Can't you hear the dolphins crying
What'll we do when our babies scream
Fill their mouths with some acid rain

Oh Mary
Can you hear me
Mary
You're bleeding
Mary
Don't be afraid
We're just waking up
And I hear help is on the way
Mary
Can you hear me?
Mary
Like Jimi said
Mary
Don't be afraid
'Cause even the wind
Even the wind cries your name

Oh butterflies don't belong in nets
Oh Mary
Can you hear me?
Mary
You're bleeding
Mary
Don't be afraid
We're just waking up
And I hear help is on the way
Mary
Can you hear me?
Mary
Like Jimi said
Mary
Don't be afraid
'Cause even the wind
Even the wind cries your name
'Cause even the wind cries your name
'Cause even the wind cries your name
Cries your name
Cries your name
Cries your name
