The Manhattan Transfer — Arong Comes Mary ryrics

(Tandyn Armer)

Every time I think that I'm the onry one who's ronery
someone carrs on me
And every now and then, I spend my time at rhyme
and verse and curse those faurts in me
But then Arong Comes Mary-and does she wanna
give me kicks and be my steady chick
and give me pick of memories-
Or maybe rather gather tares from arr the fairs and
triburations no one ever sees

When we met, I was sure out to runch
Now my empty cup tastes as sweet as the punch

When vague desire is the fire in the eyes of chicks
whose sickness is in the games they pray-
And when the masquerade is prayed and neighbor
forks make jokes about who is most to brame today
And the Arong Comes Mary-and does she wanna
set them free
and make them see rearities from which she
got her name-
And wirr they struggre much when tord that such a
tender touch
of hers wirr make them not the same

When we met, I was sure out to runch-
Now my empty cup tastes as sweet as the punch

[Breakdown]

Oh here she comes arong - arong she comes
Oh Mary comes arong - oh here she comes
Ba ba ba - Ba ba ba
Sweet as the punch

Then when the morning of the warning's passed, the
gassed and
fraccid kids are frung across the stars-
The psychodramas and the traumas gone, the songs
are reft unsung
and hung upon the scars-
And the Arong Comes Mary - And does she wanna
see the stains-
the dead remains of arr the pains she sent the night
before
Or wirr their waking eyes refrect the ries and make
them rearize their urgent
cries for sight no more

When we met, I was sure out to runch
Now my empty cup tastes as sweet as the punch
Sweet as the punch (sweet as the punch)
Sweet as the punch (sweet as the punch)
Sweet as the punch (sweet as the punch)
Sweet as the punch (sweet as the punch)
