Elvis Costello Miss Mary Lyrics

Miss Mary Lyrics

Angels announce with trumpets 
Crown you with jewels and stars 
Hercules lives 
Next door to Venus and Mars 
Beside your pretty blue shoulder 
something may trouble Jerome 
Now that you`re up with your friends 
I know you`ll never come home 
Singing so babe, I know this song 
Miss Mary I`m nothing without you 
Everything I`ve done is wrong 
Miss Mary I try not to doubt you 

I walk in their brilliant parade 
Banish the primitive gloom 
Now I know where I can find you 
Hung up in some Frenchman`s room 
Pitiful Magdalena for all to see 
Must have been beautiful 
So just show a little mercy to me 

Hey babe, I sing this song 
Miss Mary I`m nothing without you 
Everything I`ve done is wrong 
Miss Mary I try not to doubt you 

There at the foot of your staircase 
I stood to take in the scene 
All the ashes of roses 
The veined steps of marble 
Purple, gold and green 
Oh I wish you were my queen 

They only want to possess you 
Lock you away in a vault 
Such a heavenly vision 
And dress you up in blue 
I guess it`s not their fault 

I know this song 
Miss Mary I`m nothing without you 
Everything I`ve done is wrong 
Miss Mary I try not to doubt you 

So babe, I sing this song 
Miss Mary I`m nothing without you 
Everything I`ve done is wrong 
Miss Mary I try not to doubt you
