The Mary Jane Kelly Interview Lyrics by Kip Winger, Damien Gray

0

[DEVIL'S KEEPER]
Let's break the silence, Mary Jane Kelly, you've been here for quite some time. On the night that you were killed, you were singing of violets
[MARY]
It's a tune that always brings me back to better times
[DEVIL'S KEEPER]
I assume you mean before your decline
[MARY]
I remember a boy once gave me flowers. I thanked him for lilacs and he says:
[BITPART]
No, my love, they'rе violets
[MARY]
I felt a bit stupid
[DEVIL'S KEEPER]
When you should havе felt loved
[MARY]
I grew up in the country without apron strings
I'd spent winters dreaming of the warmth in the spring
In the sweet breeze, I'd watch butterflies bloom to blue
The memories of simpler times perfume the gloom
Never saw another butterfly after moving to the city
Never got a violet just for being pretty
[DEVIL'S KEEPER]
A flower for your troubles, love?
It's the least I can do
[MARY]
Violets are the flowers you send
But violets comes and goes
Much like the man I've known
After taking off my clothes
I thank you for the flower, sir
But I feel so all alone
[DEVIL'S KEEPER]
You'll have company soon, my darling
Business is booming
[MARY]
The girls here before me
Are they here as well?
[DEVIL'S KEEPER]
They are, my dear girl
You'll be meeting them soon
You're a bit of an angel
To some, you were a saint
Tried to knock the new girls well out of the paint
[MARY]
I was young once
My innocent shine
But I've tasted the bitterness
Of rapid decline
I felt I could help them before youth was spent
Show the dangers of trading bodies for rent
[DEVIL'S KEEPER]
Yes, it seems from the letter you're the good sort
Not the typical nature of whoredom in short
[MARY]
The good-hearted whore
What good did that do me?
I've walked through your door
[DEVIL'S KEEPER]
Seems you've made many bad choices
When it comes to your men
[MARY]
Feels good to be loved, sir
[DEVIL'S KEEPER]
Again and again
You kept doing your thing for threepence a bang
Whilst a madman ripped mental, racking up fame
You met this monster whilst singing a tune
Like a sick starcrossed lover
By the light of the moon
Those dirty deeds done back in the alley
But you took this man home
For quite a finale
