mary queen of arkansas (demo) - bruce springsteen lyrics

Loading...

[chorus]
mary, queen of arkansas, it’s not too early for dreamin’
the sky is grown with cloud seed sown and this b*st*rd’s love is redeeming
mary, my queen, your soft hulk is reviving
and you’re not too late to desecrate, the servants are just rising

[verse]
well, i’m just a lonely acrobat, the live wire is my trade
i’ve been a change man at your laundromat and a wharf rat of your state
mary, my queen, your blows for freedom are missing
you’re not man enough for me to hate or woman enough for kissing

[verse]
the big top is for dreamers, we can take the circus all the way to the border
and the gallows wait for martyrs whose papers are in order
but i wasn’t born to live to die, and you were not born for queenin’
it’s not too late, we can still infiltrate, the servants are just leavin’

[chorus]
well, mary, queen of arkansas, your white skin is deceivin’
you wake and wait to lie in bait but you know you can’t keep me from leavin’
’cause on your bed, mary, i can see the shadow of a noose
i don’t understand how you can hold me so tight and love me so loose

[outro]
and i know a place where we can go, mary
where i can get a good job and start out all over again clean
i got contacts deep in mexico
where the servants have been seen
