Rufus Wainwright vt. Pearl Jam - Greek Crazy Mary lyrics
rate meYou who were born with the sun above your shoulders
You turn me on, you turn me on, you have to know
You who were born where the sun she keeps her distance
You turn me on, you turn me on but so does she
You who were born there where beauty is existence
You turn me on, you turn me, your body heals my soul
You who were born where you shiver and you shudder
You turn me on the girl is gone so come on let's go
All the pearls of China
Fade astride of Volta
Don't sew beelines to anybody's hide
Save your poison for a lover who is on your side
One way is Rome and the other way is Mecca
On either side, on either side of our motorbike
One way is home and the other way is Papa
On either side, on either side and prepared to strike
When I get back I will dream in Barnes and Nobles
Don't leave me here, Don't leave me where Angels fear to tread
When I get back I will bleed after my beating
Don't leave me here, don't leave me here, I'm scared to death
All the pearls of China
Fade astride of Volta
Don't sew beelines to anybody's hide
Save your poison for a lover who is on your side
All the pearls of China
Fade astride of Volta
Don't sew beelines to anybody's hide
Save your poison for a lover who is on your side
and Crazy Mary goes.......
She lived on the curve in the road in an old tar paper shack.
On the south side of the town on the wrong side of the tracks.
Sometimes on the way into town we'd say, "Mama can we stop and give her a ride?"
Sometimes we did but her hands flew from her side.
Wild eyed crazy Mary.
Down a long dirt road past the Parson's place.
That old blue car we used to race.
Little country store with a sign tacked to the side.
Said 'NO L-O-I-T-E-R-I-N-G ALLOWED.'
Underneath that sign always congregated quite a crowd.
Take a bottle drink it down. Pass it around.
Take a bottle drink it down. Drink it... Pass it around. Pass it a...
A-take a bottle drink it down. Pass it... Pass it a... Pass it around.
One night thunder cracked. Mercy backed outside her windowsill.
Dreamed I was flying high above the trees over the hills.
Looked down into the house of Mary.
Bare bulb on Newspaper covered walls. And Mary rising up above it all.
Oh... Oh... Oh...
Next morning on the way into town saw some skid marks and followed them around.
Over the curve, through the fields, into the house of Mary.
That what you fear the most could meet you halfway. (x2)
Take a bottle drink it down. Pass it around.
Take a bottle drink it down. Pass it... Pass it around. Pass it a...
Take a bottle drink it down. Pass it... Pass it a... Pass it around.
Oh, pass it a... Pass it arround. Pass it a... Pass it a... Pass it a...
Oh yeah.
