Mary had dreams as a little girl She's prudent, wonderful, and observant Rose to the top of her ministry class Down the south end of a ladle cast She went from wearing a helmet to a tight knit dress Jesuit, a junkie, a total mess Soon she's gonna lose it all A fast, broken, fake, and false She once was a leader, the convict's first thought The king of the parish, tell her no lies Took a shot of Chinese fock, ten city friends She's never coming back Mary, I believe her scream Checks the clearing three in the morning Mary, I believe her scream She's gone What's left of her mind? Mary's all gone In holes and sacks of pockets for way too long Desperate, she's drinking a soul full of tongue Hail Mary, for her grace, I'm sad to shout Would do anything to go back to church Shake up, straighten up, it's too late for that Sister Mary, Kathleen Just went flatline again She once was a leader, the convict's first thought The king of the parish, tell her no lies Took a first shot of that Chinese rock It felt that heavy blood Mary, I believe her scream Checks that clearing three in the morning Mary, I believe her scream She's all I've got, no sobriety line Mary, I believe her scream Death is elusive and pain is infusive Mary, I believe her scream She's gone . . .
