Blue blue Mary
Blue blue Mary
and Screaming John
Screaming John had a broken heart
He was outside crying all alone
In the parking lot
'Cause his brother had left
Half alone and half together
He'd sit up late at night
And have to wonder had he lived or died
'Cause he was thinkin'
But he didn't know why
He'd go uder the screaming sky
Lookin' at the water reflecting the city lights
And he'd howl at the crescent moon
But he didn't know why
And he was all alone
He was all alone
Blue blue Mary
Blue blue Mary
and Screaming John
The last to leave when the war was through
Stabbing at imaginary enemies
Tryin' to run'em all through
And when the moon stabbed down
White light in streams
Johnny panic fell asleep and had to wrestle
With the dragons in his dreams
Like a knight from round table
He was Screaming John and he was all alone
And he was lookin' for home
All alone in the middle of the night
he went crazy by the candlelight
Before his final madness came
he had a vision of God on an elevated train
grieving for the anguish of his lonely lonely boy
And Mary's teardrops fell like rain
And the fields were ripe to bloom again
And the Sisters of Babylon dressed in red were singing for his soul
Come on Johnny let me sing it to you
Come on Johnny let me take you home
Blue blue Mary
Blue blue Mary
and Screaming John
