Mary
Jane
Blame drinking cheap bar rain
She's getting prettier by the shot
She says I should care more
for the rich and the poor
But can't find the energy
I'm gonna close my eyes to the morning papers,
shut my ear to the news, I'm gonna lose my
soul in the lonesome afternoons.
Yes, I am.
Speak plain,
Mary
Jane, could you give your hand to
a man who never gave a damn?
I swear I'd rather sleep than think
And nothing more than drink
And all I want is to blame
Mary
Jane
I'm gonna close my eyes to
the morning paper s
And shut my ear to the news
I'm gonna lose my soul to the long,
lonesome afternoons
Yes, I am
I'm gonna close my eyes to
the morning papers
Shut my ear to the news
I'm gonna lose my soul to a
lonesome afternoon
Maybe I won't be your whipping boy
I won't be your whipping boy
Shame, baby, shame, oh, shame,
Sweet
Mary
Jane, I truly do love you
She said that I should care
more for that body of yours
If you carry the weight
of the world on mine
I'm gonna close my eyes to
the morning paper
Shut my ear to the news
I'm gonna lose my soul
In the long, lonesome afternoon
It's hot
I'm gonna close my eyes
To the morning haze
Shut my ear to the news
I'm gonna lose my soul
In the lonesome afternoon
Maybe I will
Be a weapon, boy
An d make a sound
