Lyrics
Raging to the cries of slugs She's talkin' to the cries of city bugs Wonder what she might have heard When lingering with the poet thugs Often I can see her cabin on the dried-out riverbank And I see what for lunch she's havin', and so it's a tighter fate Mary, Mary my deadly foe Feathered and tarred from head to toe We can't do our cheap tricks, we wait for you We're always sure to walk behind your shadow Make it rise beneath the burning sky And if it evеr shatters on a corner Just be glad it wasn't you this timе Just be glad, just be glad, just be glad, just be glad Mother of the glowing spheres She wanders through a mist of ears Decompose and slowly die Lovers make me love her spine The church bells ring, but she don't go Keeping the bell in some lonesome soul The concrete gears have cut the doors She comes to dance with [?] When I burn, will you regret the fire? Will you miss my lonely enterprise? Dig me out, extinguish my repulsion And just be glad it wasn't you this time Just be glad, just be glad, just be glad, just be glad, just be glad, just be glad, just be glad One night when all the trees are flat And I'm a giant, and I'm nearly dead I go to her window and whisper her chant
