Mary Go Round

Mary and I were the perfect picture of love
But my world started spinning around
Till it wasn't enough

I tried to hang on to the heaven she made just for me
But when I slipped and fell
It drove her to hell
And lord knows that I hate to see

Mary go round
Mary go round
Mary I wish you'd stop taking your heartache to town
Why can't you see
That free love ain't free
You'll spin till you fall to the ground
Mary I wish that you'd never found
The merry-go-round

Nah, she's not the first to discover
The devil's playground
But this ain't no game
And these demons ain't playing around
They'll make her believe
They can drown all her pain with a drink
And as she sinks below
It's burning my soul
To watch them all laugh as they see

Mary go round
Mary go round
Oh, Mary I wish you'd stop taking your heartache to town
Why can't you see
That free love ain't free
You'll spin till you fall to the ground
Mary I wish that you'd never found
The merry-go-round

You'll spin till you fall to the ground
Mary I curse the day that you found
The merry-go-round
