Amanda Palmer - Mary's Surgeon lyrics

Mary's surgeon

Called me urgent

Get down to ward

And take...my god!

Who would date me in the dark

And for this labor

I was savoured

Tender and braindead

It went to my head

And we kept our lives

If your mouth keeps going where your mind won't go

You don't want to choke so chew it slowly

Nibble the edges on the kitchen floor

If it suits your taste, taste some more

If youre worried that it's bitter like a barbie doll

Hold your nose and swallow it all

If youre worried that it's all gonna go to your hips

Roll it round your rosy lips

If youre worried that it's all gonna go to your thighs

Close your eyes for a big surprise....

And Mary's Surgeon

Called me certain

Brand new flavour

I can savour

Such pity for the part

Mary's running away where we can't find her

Far away from smells that would remind her

Her hometown has burned down

But you will look

Staring at your face reflected in the fetid water

What shadows will it cast today

Familiar smells of fresh decay

You wish that you could flush yourself away

Complicitly leave your mark

And Mary's surgeon

Called me urging

Lord God, save us

It's contagious

It's contagious

It's contagious
