Song For Mary Lyrics - The Meat Of Life - Clem Snide

The voice that whispers 

in our head 

Suggesting we just stay in bed 

Does it seem sweeter-sounding lately 

To you as well? 

Mine sounds a bit like Nat King Cole 

Scrambling for change 

To pay the toll 

This love has lasted longer than we 

Did expect 

We never would have guessed 

We never could have guessed 

Becoming somehow turns into become 

While the work that we must do is 

The work that we must do is 

It's never done 

May I audition for the part 

Of sweeping up your dusty heart 

Well I think I know its darkest corners 

Fairly well 

And may this melody play sweet 

Upon those dark deserted streets 

Where we forever wait 

To meet our mother's heart 

We never would have guessed 

We never could have guessed 

Becoming somehow turns into become 

While the work that we must do is 

The work that we must do is 

It's never done 

[instrumental section] 

We never would have guessed 

We never could have guessed 

Becoming somehow turns into become 

While the work that we must do is 

The work that we must do is 

It's never done 

No, it's never done 

It's never done 

No, it's never done
