[Verse 1]
Mary is a singer
She plays in a band, people watch her sing
She's a real dead ringer
For the girl that I loved in the street I lived back then

[Pre-Chorus]
She gets high at night
She's always on my mind
Wrecked and stranded skies on fire

[Chorus]
But it's high time
Take your hands off the wheel, crash in the ditch
Like a lifeline
Guess the fussing and the fighting was just a glitch, oh, yeah
What she wants, she can't decide
I said, "Let me make up your mind"

[Verse 2]
Mary thinks she is a sinner
Givе herself a hard time, nеver good enough
Is she a loser or a winner?
Well, the hearts and the minds of the people that hear her sing

[Pre-Chorus]
Believe her every night
Yet she just rolls her eyes
Every time I tell her why
[Chorus]
That it's high time
Take your hands off the wheel, crash in the ditch
Like a lifeline
Guess the fussing and the fighting, was just a glitch, oh, yeah
What she wants, she can't decide
I said, "Let me make up your mind"

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Yeah, Mary is a singer
With desires of the heart, dances when she can
Waves crashing when I'm with her
And the passion of the tides in the seas we swim, oh, yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
We're laughing when we're high
We talk until it's light
But will this bird take flight and fly

[Chorus]
'Cause it's high time
Take your hands off the wheel, crash in the ditch
Like a lifeline
Guess the fussing and the fighting, was just a glitch, oh, yeah
Yeah, she gets high at night
What she got you can't deny
What she wants, she can't decide
I said, "Let me make up your mind"
