The night to follow day and back again She doens't want to sleep Well who could blame her if she wants The night to follow day and back again She doesn't want to sleep Well who could blame her if she sleeps Well who could blame her if she sleeps Well who could blame her if she's sleeping Mary Jo, back with yourself For company, keep telling yourself you're young And it will happen soon Mary Jo, now one can guess What you've been through Now you've got love to burn It's someone else's turn to go through hell Now you can see them come from fifty yards Yeah, you can tell It's someone else's turn to take a fall And now you are the one who's strong enough to help them The one who's strong enough to help them The one who's strong enough to help them all Lalalalalalalala Mary Jo, you're looking thin You're reading a book, "The State I Am In" But, oh, it doesn't help at all Cause what you want is a cigarette And a thespian with a caravanette in Hull Your life is never dull in your dreams A pity that it never seems to work the way you see it Life is never dull in your head A sorry tale of action and the men you left for Women, and the men you left for Intrigue, and the men you left for dead Life is never dull in your dreams A pity that it never was so merry Life is never dull in your dreams A sorry tale of action and the men you left for Women, and the men you left for Intrigue, and the men you left for dead The men you left for dead
