Standard (EADGBE)

Everytime I think that I'm the only one who's lonely

someone calls on me.

And every now and then I spend my time at rhyme and verse

and curse those faults in me.

Chorus

And then along comes Mary.

And does she want to give me kicks, and be my steady chick

And give me pick of mem..or..ies?

Or maybe rather gather tales from all the fails

and tribulations no one ever sees?

When we met I was sure out to lunch,

Now my empty cup tastes as sweet as the punch.

When vague desire is the fire in the eyes of chicks,

whose sickness is the games they play.

And when the masquerade is played and neighbor folks make jokes

at who is most to blame today.

Chorus

And then along comes Mary.

And does she want to set them free, and let them see reality?

From where she got her name.

And will they struggle much..

when told that such a tender touch of hers will make them not

the same?

When we met I was sure out to lunch.

Now my empty cup tastes as sweet as the punch.

(INTERLUDE:)

And when the morning of the warning's passed,

the gassed and flaccid kids are flung across the stars.

The psychodramas and the traumas gone

the songs are left unsung and hung upon the scars.

Chorus

And then along comes Mary.

And does she want to see the stains, the dead remains of

all the pains she left the night before?

Or will their waking eyes, reflect the lies,

and make them realize their urgent cry for sight no more?

When we met I was sure out to lunch.

Now my empty cup tastes as sweet as the punch.

Outro

Sweet as the punch.........sweet as the punch.

Sweet as the punch.........sweet as the punch.

Sweet as the punch.
