Remember when you said we'd marry
The wilder shores of love, the tide, it changes fast
Oh, when you're fast it never lasts

I cannot read between your lines
You cannot make me read your tiny mind
Oh, who's got the time
Oh, you'd go blind

Jesus and Mary
Are taking me down to the other side of town
Where they don't count the days
With steel blades on the walls of time
They just dance naked in the sun all the time

She's the jewel in your crown
But I'm the goal that's gonna weigh you down
I'll keep you around this dirty old town

Every time I put the stove on
Dinner's cold by the time you come over
Oh, you turn over on that cold shoulder

Jesus and Mary
Are taking me down to the other side of town
Where they don't count the days
With steel blades on the walls of time
They just dance naked in the sun all the time

And you call and you call my name
Baby, hazy, lazy, oh I am not an animal
When I lie back, I lie on my back
Baby, hazy, lazy, oh I'll sign on the dotted line

Don't bring me down
Don't bring me down
Don't bring me down, no
Don't bring me down
Don't bring me down
Don't bring me down
Don't bring me down
