Lyrics
Mari Grey
Like a holy rolling dice
In a game of chance
That I could never win
You played me like
Some cheap violin
When the hammer fell I thought that
I would never ever ever ever come around
Wow wow no
A slow infatuation
Dug a hole in me
So dark and deep it sighed
If you listened long enough
You could almost hear me choking on my pride
Too many stays of execution
Have left me waiting for the day
I wanna die, I pray
More in fear than hope
I answered to your beck and call
Like an erring child at school
You left me waiting in the hall, wow
Like a rich man dying
Praying for one more day
That’s how much I need you, wow, wow, wow
That’s how much I need you
Mari Grey
Echoes in the night
Bring on the messengers
That keep calling out your name
But everything we had was torn apart
Just like a voice gets lost in wind and rain
The dice was rolled, the game was lost
Now these strings will never play
Again, no way
Still I’m lost beneath you
Who I am I cannot tell
I’m a planet turning ‘round your sun
And I’m on my way to hell, wow oh
Like a rich man dying
Praying for one more day
That’s how much I need you, wow, wow, wow
That’s how much I need you
Mari Grey
Out there in the rain and the cold
You’re growing restless, you’re growing bold
And you’re haunting me
I can’t rest, I can’t sleep
In my dreams I see you weep
Again and again and again and again and again
Again and again and again and again and again
Still I’m lost beneath you
Who I am I cannot tell
I’m a planet turning ‘round your sun
And I’m on my way to hell, wow, oh
Like a rich man dying
Praying for one more day
They’ll see I tried to be kind to you, wow
They’ll see I wasn’t completely blind to you, wow
That’s if they ever find you …
Mari Grey wow, wow, wow, wow
Mari Grey, yeah, yeah, yeah
Mari Grey
Mari Grey
It’s all dirt and clay
Oh! what can I say?
