Resurrection Mary - Live Lyrics
In 1935 I was living in paradise, I had a friend up in Cicero.
We used to
go out to the track and knock a few whiskeys back.
I'd lose my shirt and
then I'd lose my way home
I was driving my Stutz back home through
Justice in the dark,
when suddenly the blood froze in my veins.
She
was standing by the road in an incandescent glow.
My heart said 'run' but
my foot slammed on the brakes.
She said "Please, please would you
justify my wish?
I'm trying to get to Heaven, will you tell me where that
is?"
On a wild Chicago night, with a wind howling white,
I
caught my first sign of Resurrection Mary, RM, RM, RM.
I was
trembling like a leaf, I was scared beyond belief,
after all my
conscience is not clear.
I used to work with Mickey Finn, I did the
numbers for Big Jim
Perhaps my day of reckoning was here?
I
said "Please, please, I'd love to dignify your wish.
But when it comes to
Heaven, I'm just a little bit amateurish."
On a wild Chicago night,
with a wind howling white
I cheated time with Resurrection Mary, RM, RM,
RM.
Yeah the tears were forming in my eyes,
for the first
time, I felt something deep inside,
and for the first time I saw angels
high in the air,
for the first time in my life.
I said "Mary, go to
the light, it's gonna be alright."
I got down on my knees and I
said "Sweet Mary, please,
justify the wishes before you run.
Will
you tell him I've reformed, will you tell him I'm reborn?"
She closed her
eyes and then she spoke in tongues
I said "Please, please, will you
tell me what he said?"
She said "You must die
the day before the
devil knows you're dead."
On a wild Chicago night, with a wind
howling white
well
