Tell me junkie;
If you're able,
Are you playing your cards,
On the table?

In your vein?

Cross for you,
Mary is just,
Looking at you.
Mother Mary feels,
So much pain,
Looking at him.

You'd better tell;
Your story fast...
And if you lie;
It will come to pass...
You'd better tell;
Your story fast...
And if you lie;
It will come to pass...
