Fagen Donald Mary Shut The Garden Door Lyrics

Mary Shut The Garden Door Lyrics

They came in under the radar

When our backs were turned around

In a
fleet of Lincoln Town Cars

They rolled into our town

Confounded all
six senses

Like an opiate in the brain

Mary shut the garden door

Looks a lot like rain



Mary shut the garden door

Mary shut
the garden door



We pounded Rachel's radio

For reports about
the bridge

There was nothing on but static

Nothing in the
fridge

We lay there listening to the wind

Whistling through the
pines

When we heard the engines idling

Saw the headlights through
the blinds



Mary shut the garden door

Mary shut the garden
door



Rough dreams

Those voices in the kitchen

I woke
up

And sensed the new condition

They won

Storms raged

Things changed

Forever



So if you ever see an automaton

In a midprice luxury car

Better roll the sidewalks up

Switch on
your lucky star

'Cause this zombie does impressions

But not really
to amuse

This ballad is for lovers

With something left to lose



Mary shut the garden door

Mary shut the garden door
