Marie

Well she's got a look

A heart that's good as gold

But that's not all she's got

Despite what I've been told

She read me like a book

Now I'm feeling two years old

Wondering what she's not

And what she wants to hold

And why she wants it

Marie let's go away today

I've well outlived the games we play

Something's got to go

Let it go now

Trying to catch the show

Tickets sold out

Like a shoemaker's elf

Hiding in the rough

Working all the time

That's not good enough

If the credit isn't mine

Try to tell myself

Just go and leave things nice

But you know how that goes

And takes her own advice

Marie let's go away today

I've well outlived the games we play

Something's got to go

Let it go now

Trying to catch the show

Tickets sold out

Our world is like a hot air balloon

Flame holds us up

The heat is all we have to lose

Still something

Keeps us tied to the ground

We've got to cut loose the ropes

We're just hanging around

Kiss your pretty face

And that leads me to more

We need to find a place

Where we control the door

And when the door is closed

And no one can come in

To rain on our parade

Tell them where we've been
