1
If you talk to Mary, please don't look at me
2
'Cause she's never seen me before
3
Don't call attention to the man outside of me
4
'Cause she can cut my head off with the blinking of her eye
5
And I'm not supposed to be here and I'm too young to die
6
See, she carries my confusion in the pocket of her jeans
7
Bouncing like a pinball in between extremes
8
I'm not surprised, this happens all the time
9
And my hand lights her cigarette inside my mind
10
And she's never seen me before
11
So if you talk to Mary, please don't mention me
12
'Cause she's never seen me before
13
Just let me hide behind the smoke and pleasantries
14
'Cause I do my best work with the mannequin brigade
15
I just peek around the statues, spitting art and foreign trade
16
And she looks a hole right through me to a shadow on the wall
17
Till I'm sick of my surroundings while I'm not here at all
18
I'm not surprised this happens all the time
19
And my hand lights her cigarette inside my mind
20
And she's never seen me before
21
Warhol monotone, robotic talk
22
We're all so smart, we're so perceptive
23
But her mouth doesn't move
24
Except to smile to be polite, to be receptive
25
She burns me with a glance, I look away
26
I'm safely cool, I'm so deceptive
27
I'd give my right arm for a different situation
28
I look around, I see everybody watching me
29
I set myself up for this stupid situation
30
If you talk to Mary, please don't look at me
31
'Cause she's never seen me before
32
Don't call attention to the man outside of me
33
'Cause she can cut my head off with the blinking of her eye
34
And I'm not supposed to be here and I'm too young to die
35
See, she carries my confusion in the pocket of her jeans
36
Bouncing like a pinball in between extremes
37
I'm not surprised, this happens all the time
38
And my hand lights her cigarette inside my mind
39
And she's never seen me before
