Mary dances in the shadows

Dressed in stockings made of white

She provides herself to angels

Seeking salvage to bear child

Mary dances in the sunshine

She's the mother of the damned

She's the mother of delusions

She's the concubine of man



Mary dances in the shadows

Mary dances all alone

Little Mary child of prayers

Only angels hear you moan

Mary dances in the sunshine

Dressed in stockings made of black

Finding cloister in the sacred

Finding salvage on her back



Mary dances in the rainfall

Playing gently with a rose

Dressed nothing but her stockings

Mary dances all exposed

Mary dances for the angels

She's a puppet turned to queen

She's the harlot of the holy

Only angels hear her sing
