Secret Garden
Tracks Version
Mary, Queen of Arkansas
It's not too early for dreamin'
The sky is grown with cloud seed sown
and this bastard's love is redeeming
Mary, my queen, your soft hulk is reviving
Oh and 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 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
Well 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'
Oh it's not too late, we can still infiltrate
The servants are just leavin'
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'
Because on your bed, on your bed Mary, I see the shadow of a noose
I don't understand how you can hold me so tight
And love me so loose
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
It's not too early for dreamin'
The sky is grown with cloud seed sown
and this bastard's love is redeeming
Mary, my queen, your soft hulk is reviving
Oh and 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 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
Well 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'
Oh it's not too late, we can still infiltrate
The servants are just leavin'
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'
Because on your bed, on your bed Mary, I see the shadow of a noose
I don't understand how you can hold me so tight
And love me so loose
And I know a place where we can go Mary
Where I can get a good job and start out all over again clean
