Send "Mother Mary" Ringtone to Cell

Do you want to elope tonight
Getting lost in the shadows
All dressed up like a switchblade knife
Let's hang in love from the gallows

Or we can take a walk around the lake
There's a garden in the park there
Under the stars next to the fireside

Anywhere is better than here

[Chorus]
Oh Mother Mary, take my hand
I'll be a saint, I'll be your man
I'll do most anything, 'cause I don't care
Oh Mother Mary, take my hand.

Take a ride on the midnight train
We'll fall asleep at the station
Too much wine, driving me insane
And then we'll miss our destination

Oh well, too bad, who cares, it's all right.
As long as we will stick together
In hell we'll rain a rose of sunshine
We'll watch it rise and shine forever

[Chorus]

Send "Mother Mary" Ringtone to Cell

    General Comment:"Si tu n'etait pas mon ami, je serai fou de toi mon chere"
    K, if anyone cares, I think that might be close to it
    "If you weren't my friend, I would be crazy about you, my love"
    or something . . . idk

    General Comment:I can see the 420 connection here, but it's true that the character Mary was mentioned in another song. That could detach this song from the rest, sort of. The lyrics on this album seem to follow a story the way American Idiot did, though a bit more loosely.

    General Comment:Hahaha :D yeah, pot used to be one of their favorite topics... used to. I have to say I don't exactly wanna agree with you here.

    And I find his voice soothing too. It always makes me feel better when I feel helplessly lonely. I have days when GD is all I can listen to.
