Grace Potter & The Nocturnals
Ah Mary
[Verse 1]
She's skilled at the art of deception and she knows it
She's got dirty money that she plays with all the time
Yeah, she waters the garden, but maybe she just likes the hoses
She puts herself just a notch above humankind
[Pre-Chorus]
Ah, Mary
She'll bake you cookies, then she'll burn your town
Ah, Mary
Ashes, ashes, but she won't fall down
[Chorus]
She's the beat of my heart, she's the shot of a gun
She'll be the end of me and maybe everyone
Yeah, she's the beat of my heart, she's the shot of a gun
She'll be the end of me and maybe everyone
[Verse 2]
Call her a bully, she'll blow up your whole damn playground
Pour her a drink and watch it go straight to her head
She'll take you so high up and cover her eyes as you fall down
Then, in the morning, don't be surprised if you're dead
[Pre-Chorus]
Ah, Mary
She'll bake you cookies, then she'll burn your town
Ah, Mary
Ashes, ashes, but she won't fall down
[Chorus]
She's the beat of my heart, she's the shot of a gun
She'll be the end of me and maybe everyone
She's the beat of my heart, she's the shot of a gun
She'll be the end of me and maybe everyone, ah, Mary
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
Yeah, she's the beat of my heart, she's the shot of a gun
She'll be the end of me and maybe everyone
Ah, Mary, Mary, Mary, Mary-ca
Ah, Mary, Mary, Mary, Mary-ca
[Outro]
Ooh, Ah-merica
