Jaya The Cat - The Sickness lyrics

rate me

Mary moved to the city in '97<br />

Got a temp job downtown, studio apartment<br />

Things were looking pretty good until she got outta shit<br />

Stay out all night and keep it going<br />

Backwards progress but you got new friends<br />

Sleeping on a sofa when sleep happens and it's<br />

It's alright 'cause everywhere you go<br />

Everyone likes you and there's no one you don't know<br />

And it's hard to see your slipping when you're blind<br />

White light, you leave, your path behind you.<br />

Mary Mary how long can you go on, believing your still in control and<br />

Mary Mary how much can you go?<br />

Mary Mary, Mary's got the sickness oh.<br />

<br />

Few years later she gets a little older<br />

Squatting in a room hoping nobody notices<br />

All of her friends she ripped off or pissed off<br />

Back from 'los Angeles' it's too late to stop<br />

Paranoia, the world's an accusation<br />

Anyone who's nice must be after something<br />

<br />

Scabs on her face, mind's a blur<br />

Got shit away for a future that's no longer hers.<br />

Story changes to fit the moment<br />

Aww girl it looks like you've blow it.<br />

<br />

Mary mary didn't you know?<br />

That shit your on just kills your soul and<br />

Mary Mary how much can you go?<br />

Mary Mary, Mary's got the sickness oh.<br />

<br />

Started in a bathtub ended on a sidewalk<br />

What started as a life just ended up FUCKED! <br />

She says, 'One more rail to freedom'<br />

But you wouldn't know the truth if you seen it<br />

<br />

Mary Mary how long can you go on, believing your still in control and<br />

Mary Mary how much can you go?<br />

Mary Mary, Mary's got the sickness oh.
