Miss Mary Lyrics by Elvis Costello

Miss Mary Lyrics

    Angels announce with trumpets
    Crown you with jewels and stars
    Hercules lives
    Next door to venus and mars
    Beside your pretty blue shoulder
    Something may trouble jerome
    Now that you're up with your friends
    I know you'll never come home
    Singing so babe, i know this song
    Miss mary i'm nothing without you
    Everything i've done is wrong
    Miss mary i try not to doubt you

    I walk in their brilliant parade
    Banish the primitive gloom
    Now i know where i can find you
    Hung up in some frenchman's room
    Pitiful magdalena for all to see
    Must have been beautiful
    So just show a little mercy to me

    Hey babe, i sing this song
    Miss mary i'm nothing without you
    Everything i've done is wrong
    Miss mary i try not to doubt you

    There at the foot of your staircase
    I stood to take in the scene
    All the ashes of roses
    The veined steps of marble
    Purple, gold and green
    Oh i wish you were my queen

    They only want to possess you
    Lock you away in a vault
    Such a heavenly vision
    And dress you up in blue
    I guess it's not their fault

    I know this song
    Miss mary i'm nothing without you
    Everything i've done is wrong
    Miss mary i try not to doubt you

    So babe, i sing this song
    Miss mary i'm nothing without you
    Everything i've done is wrong
    Miss mary i try not to doubt you
