Mary Jane

It seems foolish
To want everything normal
And do nothing natural
When you thought
Its only you, destined
For a life less worth

Whats the matter mary jane, you had a hard day
As you place the dont disturb sign on the door
You lost your place in line again, what a pity
You never seem to want to dance anymore

Its a long way down
On this roller coaster
The last chance streetcar
Went off the track
And youre on it

It seems foolish

To have been stuck

In a time that was past

The future was so dark

Blind, you refused to see

That what you had

Was only sand

And then tottering steps

Until slowly,

You learnt to prance

The heart so warm

You let yourself bask

I hear youre counting sheep again mary jane
Whats the point of trying to dream anymore
I hear youre losing weight again mary jane
Do you ever wonder who youre losing it for

Well its full speed baby
In the wrong direction
Theres a few more bruises
If thats the way
You insist on heading

Please be honest mary jane
Are you happy
Please dont censor your tears

No shades, no force-field

Willing to let go

You chose your path

And then you found

It was the crossroads

Once again...

So take this moment mary jane and be selfish
Worry not about the cars that go by
All that matters mary jane is your freedom
Keep warm my dear, keep dry

Tell me
Tell me
Whats the matter mary jane
