I met Mary on a moonless night But her starry eyes could make the world look bright She's young and perfect and full of life And she said I'm gonna make it out one night Gonna make it out one night As time passed we both got old From the bar she lived above she sat and wrote By the light of blue and yellow neon signs she wrote I'm gonna make it out one night I'm gonna make it out one night So go on work all your angles out Get a plan together, get your demons out Mary, the world wants to bring you down But don't you let 'em Oh, oh, oh... I ran into her in Union Square But her starry eyes were looking dim and scared With the cigarette providing all the light She said I'm gonna make it out one night I'm gonna make it out one night It rained the night I said goodbye When I lit her Camel never thought to cry 'Cause Mary, you never were the stayin' kind You were gonna make it out one night You were gonna make it out one night So go on work all your angles out Get a plan together, get your demons out Mary, the world wants to bring you down But don't you let 'em Oh, oh, oh... There's a moment that we chase And we fall along the way 'Cause we're not looking when we run And if that moment never comes Save your breath We only get so many trips around the sun And there's no lucky stars So go on work all your angles out Get a plan together, get your demons out Mary, the world wants to bring you down But don't you let 'em Oh, oh, oh...
