Big Umbrella - Something 'bout Mary lyrics

Somethin' bout Mary's changed

And I'm not sure what it is

Lately, she's acting strange

Running scared from a secret storm

Somethin' has been arranged

But I don't know all the details

Somethin' bout Mary's changed

Trade a secret for a secret

I suspect she's got herself in a bit of trouble

But she don't want to take another soul on a sinking ship.

Oh, but Mary

This is scary

Somethin' bout Mary's changed

And I'm sure that it's dangerous

Watch the way she says his name

It's a deadpan echo from a face of stone

Whispering a cold refrain

That I beg her to explain

She said that last thing I recall

Was the counting backwards

I suspect she's got herself in a bit of trouble

But she don't want to take another soul on a sinking ship.

Oh, but Mary

This is scary

Listen Mary

This is the way it's gotta be for you, Mary

Cloudy for awhile

These are the bones that you gotta carry

And no one can go with you

This is the way it's gotta be for you, Mary

These are the bones that you gotta carry

On your murder mile

Somethin' bout Mary's changed

Somethin' bout Mary's changed

Trade a secret for a secret

One secret for another

Somethin' bout Mary
