Lyrics
Mary lives in the same house
Never made it outside
Couldn't cut her teeth in it
But God knows she tried
Combs her hair in the doorway
Thinks of all her nice dreams
She raised a cane but put no concrete underneath
But she knows where all her friends are
But she knows where all her friends are
Cold in Mary's Eyes
God it wears her out
God it wears her out
Long tearing at night
God it wears her out
God it wears her out
Takes her car out to nowhere
Playing dead feels the same
When she digs the same notch in the doorframe
Cutting up all the tapings
All chipped paint and ripped tights
No this can't be all she's got in the headlights
Cause she knows where all her friends are
Cause she knows where all her friends are
Cold in Mary's Eyes
God it wears her out
God it wears her out
Long tearing at night
God it wears her out
God it wears her out
Cold in Mary's Eyes
God it wears her out
God it wears her out
Long tearing at night
God it wears her out
God it wears
