Tales Of A Librarian lyrics

and with a wink
and a smile
you toss your instructions on
how to catch a train
while it's moving
you always were the one
that kept us all guessing
how you could survive
the fall you had

from medicine men
to my dj friends
they all have said
"he's got to watch his back"

they're trapping angels
by the potomac
but it's not how you think
you'd be surprised
they liberate
your dreamscape

Ev'rybody wants something from you
Ev'rybody wants a piece of Mary
Lush valley all dressed in green,
Just ripe for the picking

God, I want to get you out of here,
You can ride in a pink Mustang
When I think of what we've done to you,
Oh, Mary, can you hear me?

Growing up isn't always fun,
They tore your dress and stole your ribbons
They see you cry, they lick their lips,

5am friday morning, thursday night, far from sleep
I'm still up and driving, can't go home obviously
So I'll just change direction cause they'll soon know where I live
And I wanna live
Got a full tank and some chips

It was me and a gun and a man on my back
And I sang "holy holy" as he buttoned down his pants

You can laugh, It's kind of funny the things you think times like these

In my platforms
I hit the floor
fell face down
didn't help my brain out
Then the baby came
before I found
the magic how
to keep her happy
I never was the fantasy
of what you want
wanted me to be

Don't judge me so harsh little girl,
so you got a playboy mommy
But when you tell 'em my name and
you want to cross that Bridge
all on your own
Little girl they'll do you no harm
