To Mary On Her Birthday

from Fall by Chris Shepard

/

lyrics

Mary, it's your birthday
Please don't try to go too far
Mary, it's your birthday
Please don't pass out at the bar

'Cause there's many kinds of people in this world
And you are just an innocent young girl
Don't take reds from a man you've never met
You're better off just staying with your girls

Mary, how's the family?
Please forward my regards
Mary, it's your birthday
And you're having trouble getting in the car

You're living every day like it's the end
But you'll never die alone if you have friends
Don't think twice about the hearts you'll break tonight
You're better off just being your own girl

Cause there's plenty evil here to go around
I'll look you up when I get back in town
Satellites have little hope of falling down
You're better off just being your own girl

Mary, it's your birthday
Please don't hang me out to dry
Mary, Happy Birthday
But I wouldn't blame you if you tried

Mary, it's your birthday
Mary, Happy Birthday

'Cause there's many kinds of people in this world
And you are just an innocent young girl
Let the drones walk the beaten path tonight
You're better off just being your own girl
