INTRO: Mary queen of Arkansas, it's not too early for dreaming The sky is grown with cloud seed sown and a bastard's love can be redeeming Mary, my queen, your soft hulk is reviving No, you're not too late to desecrate, the servants are just rising Well I'm just a lonely acrobat, the live wire is my trade I've been a shine boy for your acid brat and a wharf rat of your state Mary, my queen, your blows for freedom are missing Woah you're not man enough for me to hate or woman enough for kissing Oh the big top is for dreamers, we can take the circus all the way to the border Oh and the gallows wait for martyrs whose papers are in order But I was not born to live to die and you were not born for queening Woah it's not too late to infiltrate, the servants are just leaving Mary queen of Arkansas, your white skin is deceiving You wake and wait ooh to lie in bait and you almost got me believing But on your bed Mary I can see the shadow of a noose Woah I don't understand how you can hold me so tight and love me so damn loose But I know a place where we can go, Mary Where I can get a good job and start out all over again clean Woah I got contacts deep in Mexico where the servants have been seen
