(feat. Beth Hart)





For everyone I loved and every road I've known

For all the trash I won

I celebrate... alone

Sit up straight, stupid, bite your tongue

The best that I am is said and done



Screams and whispers

Tell her I no longer hear her!



Mother Mary, she don't talk to me

Mother Mary, she don't talk to me

"Give her my apologies"

"And tell her not to cry"

Mother Maria



I holler like a king trying to keep his throne

But chewing on a stone is the only thing I own

Drugs and lovers

Nothing left under the covers



[Chorus:]

Mother Mary, she don't talk to me

Mother Mary, she don't talk to me

"Give her my apologies"

"And tell her not to cry"

Mother Maria



Anything you want

Anything you need

I give it all I got

Your attention please!

You never want it me

You never wanted me!



Sleep with me

Just for the bitter part

About me



[Slash SOLO]



Living's hardly

Living's hardly

Tell her I no longer want it



[Chorus:]

Mother Mary, she don't talk to me

Mother Mary, she don't talk to me

"Give her all apologies"

It's Mother Mary, she don't talk to me!



I still don't hear her voice

I still can't hear her voice

I don't deserve her

So tell her not to cry

Tell her not to cry

Tell her not to cry!

Mother Maria
