Lyrics
Blame Mary Jane and drink a cheap bar range
She's getting prettier by the shot
She says I should care more for the rich and the poor
But I can't find the energy, blame Mary Jane
I'm gonna close my eyes to the morning papers
Shut my ear to the news
I'm gonna lose my soul in the lonesome afternoons
Yes, I am
Speak plain Mary Jane, could you give your hand
To a man who never gave a damn?
I'd swear I'd rather sleep than think
And nothing more than drink
And all I want is to blame Mary Jane
I'm gonna close my eyes to the morning papers
Shut my ear to the news
I'm gonna lose my soul to the long and lonesome afternoons
Yes, I am
I'm gonna close my eyes to the morning papers
Shut my ear to the news
I'm gonna lose my soul to the lonesome afternoons
And maybe I won't
Be your whipping boy
I won't be your whipping boy
Shame baby, shame oh shame
Sweet Mary Jane, I truly do love you
She said that I should care more for that body of yours
And to carry the weight of the world on mine
I'm gonna close my eyes to the morning papers
Shut my ear to the news
I'm gonna lose my soul in the long and lonesome afternoon
Yes, I am
I'm gonna close my eyes to the morning papers
Shut my ear to the news
I'm gonna lose my soul in the lonesome afternoon
And maybe I will
Be your whipping boy
And maybe I will
