You step out of the shower
Oh so cool and clean
Smelling like a flower
From a field of green
The world is burning Mary
It's hollow dark and mean
I love to hear you laugh
It takes the world away
I live to hear you laugh
I don't even have to pray
But now the world is coming back
It's coming back to stay
Stand beside me Mary
We have no time to waste
The water's not like water now
It has a bitter taste
Stand beside me Mary
Mary full of grace
I know you have to leave me
The clock is ticking loud
I know it's time to leave me
The time has come around
My heart has turned to weaponry
That's why my head is bowed
Stand beside me Mary
We have no time to waste
The animal is bleeding
And the flower is disgraced
Stand beside me Mary
Mary full of grace
