Mary is a singer
She plays in a band
People watch her sing
She's a real dead ringer
For the girl that I loved in the street
I lived back then
She gets high at night
She's always on my mind
Wrecked and stranded
Skies on fire
But it's high time
To take your hands off the wheel
Crash in the ditch
Like a lifeline
Guess the fussing and the fighting
Was just a glitch, oh, yeah
What she wants, she can't decide
I said, "Let me make up your mind"
Mary thinks she is a sinner
Givе herself a hard time
Nеver good enough
Is she a loser or a winner?
Well, the hearts and the minds
Of the people that hear her sing
Believe her every night
Yeah, she just rolls her eyes
Every time I tell her why
That it's high time
To take your hands off the wheel
Crash in the ditch
Like a lifeline
Guess the fussing and the fighting
Was just a glitch, oh, yeah
What she wants, she can't decide
I said, "Let me make up your mind"
Yeah, Mary is a singer
With desires of the heart
Dances when she can
Waves crashing when I'm with her
And the passion of the tides in the seas we swim
Oh, yeah
We're laughing when we're high
We talk until it's light
But will this bird take flight and fly
'Cause it's high time
To take your hands off the wheel
Crash in the ditch
Like a lifeline
Guess the fussing and the fighting
Was just a glitch, oh, yeah
Yeah, she gets high at night
What she got you can't deny
What she wants, she can't decide
I said, let me make up your mind
