Modern life 4:100:00/4:10
Mary Anne
She wants to go shopping but hasn't the will To many late nights and sleeping pills
Fear wrapped tightly around her thoughts The front door is open but she’ll never leave
Inspiration she finds at a store Where two for one offers line up on the floor
Decisions are hard to make these days As the ground beneath her starts slipping away
Oh mary anne what’s the world to you What’s the story what did you do
There was a time when they came to your door Now they don’t come any more But the past lingers on
She has a fashion a style of her own With a peg bag and apron that are still on load
From a friend who’s name she can’t recall Lost in the net that she cast long ago
Now love wasn't easy it came at a price She stood at the table and she threw the dice
But her luck ran out from the day she was born And the ground beneath her keeps slipping away
Oh mary anne what’s the world to you What’s the story what did you do
There was a time when they came to your door Now they don’t come any more
Lawyers and clowns dressed in their gowns Waiting to take you away
But you don't fall down when the world around went crazy
Oh mary anne what’s the world to you What’s the story what did you do
There was a time when they came to your door Now they don’t come any more
Oh mary anne what’s the world to you What’s the story what did you do
There was a time when they came to your door Now they don’t come any more
But the past lingers on The past lingers on Oh the past lingers on
