Jesus And Mary — Martha Wainwright

Remember when you said we'd marry The wilder shores of love The tide, it changes fast Ah when you're fast it never lasts

I cannot read between your lines You cannot make me read your tiny mind Oh who's got the time Oh you'd go blind

Jesus and Mary Are takin' me down to the other side of town Where they don't count the days With steel blades on the walls of time They just dance naked in the sun all the time

She's the jewel in your crown But I'm the goal that's gonna weigh you down I'll keep you around this dirty old town

Every time I put the stove on Dinner's cold by the time you come over Oh you turn over on that cold shoulder

Jesus and Mary Are takin' me down to the other side of town Where they don't count the days With steel blades on the walls of time They just dance naked in the sun all the time

And you call and you call my name Baby, hazy, lazy Oh I am not an animal

When I lie back, I lie on my back Baby, hazy, lazy Oh I'll sign on the dotted line

Don't bring me down Don't bring me down Don't bring me down, no Don't bring me down Don't bring me down Don't bring me down Don't bring me down
