Don't listen, dear
to the things they try to press on you
it's not worth wasting your time
you can't do that much searching
without going blind

some special meaning that they lost within the paragraphs
that they didn't even write
just imagine what they'd see
if they'd open their eyes
but they're never gonna open their eyes

so go, fly, mary
you no longer have to roam
goodbye, mary
july's sweet breeze will bring you home

they're peering in at you through broken windows
and they turn their backs when you go outside
and yet they're treating you like you're
the one with something to hide

and they can't help it if they think it's kinda funny that
you wear black all the time
just imagine what they'd see if they'd open their eyes
but they're never gonna open their eyes

you sit alone in your room
when silver buttons fall
the elephant still likes you
