Verse 1: Papa Nihil:

We were speeding together down the dark avenues

But besides all the stardom, all we got was blues

But through all the sorrow, we've been riding high

And the truth of the matter is I never let you go, let you go

We were scanning the cities, rocking to pay their dues

But besides all the glamour, all we got was bruised

But through all the sorrow, we've been riding high

And the truth of the matter is I never let you go, let you go


Chorus: Papa Nihil:

You go down just like Holy Mary, Mary on a, Mary on a cross

Not just another bloody Mary, Mary on a, Mary on a cross

If you choose to run away with me, I will tickle you internally

And I see nothing wrong with that


Verse 2: Papa Nihil:

We were searching for reasons to play by the rules

But we quickly found out it was just for fools

Now through all the sorrow, we'll be riding high

And the truth of the matter is I never let you go, let you go


Pre-Chorus: Papa Nihil:

You go down just like Holy Mary, Mary on a, Mary on a cross

Not just another bloody Mary, Mary on a, Mary on a...


Chorus: Papa Nihil:

You go down just like Holy Mary, Mary on a, Mary on a cross

Your beauty never ever scared me, Mary on a, Mary on a cross

If you choose to run away with me, I will tickle you internally

And I see nothing wrong with that


Outro: Papa Nihil:

(Mary on a, Mary on a cross) Nothing wrong with that

(Mary on a, Mary on a cross) Nothing wrong with that

(Mary on a, Mary on a cross)

(Mary on a) Mary on a cross
