A humourus look at backyard shrines.
Lyrics
Mary's in the bathtub starin' into space
She's wonderin' what she's doin' here in this place
There's a chill in the air, the ground is so hard
'Cause Mary's in the bathtub in the back yard
Chorus
Oh Mary how'd you end up this way
Was there some kind of reason for the price that you paid
You're their inspiration some people would say
'Cause you stand there listening when they come to you and pray
Mary how'd you end up this way
She don't know how the hole was dug under the sky
She don't know how the tub got there, she still don't know why
She remembers wakin' up one day feeling the shock
Frozen in place, just like a rock
Minute by minute day after day
She looks at the people passin' her way
There's a pain in their hearts and a look in their eyes
Some even talk to her but she can't reply
She'd like her soul to run free she's like to run through the grass
She'd like to go home and see her father at last
But there's some kind of magic keeping her here
And she can't even shed one single ear
