Sweet Mary, child, the mornings broke, My heads still clouded, I know I misspoke, For you, forever, I'll still smile at your jokes, but Look out your back door, you’ll see yourself smiling, Erotic malnutrition, insults flying. Yeah the god in the mirror, has left to build his bible, maybe it's time for me to go. The drunks still screaming on the corner of your street, Despite the morning showers and your drug induced sleep, Your main stream affection and the tattoos on your feet, Take a trip through the time wall, see your memory swirling, at the start of nightfall your silvers sterling And love it lasts forever, lest your pride is for the taking, perhaps it's time for me to go. The Benzedrine wish well is but a graveyard dance, And your periodical knowledge gives you no chance, For your lifestyle in the bike lane and your questionable finance. Go put your drink down, break down in the hallway! The road to freedom is looming out your doorway. Your dreams and your callings, are buried beneath the system, maybe it's time for me to go. You live in a light show, doesn't mean you're not blinded. Looking for dharma doesn't mean you will find it I'm leaving the morning, the first one on the pavement, Life is boring without the initiative to shape it. Oh Mary, the night left your home again, And despite your wisdom an your need to pretend, Your Coked up in the shadows, and you know your near the end. Take the time to realize, the amount your burning, a testament to the grave your earning, And the god in the mirror has left to build his bible, maybe it's time for me to go.
