Mary’s Song Lyrics by The Aislers Set

Terrible Things Happen

1998

I was darkened by the sin
A wasted hour closing in on a lovely day
I got up before the freeway
I got up and set my clock
The river up the street and down the block got faster
And I wished I got the nerve to ask her what she thought
About why Portland skies are grey
Will you want to see it every day
When you know there's kids starving in Alaska for the sun?
By the way, can I come?
I swear I won't be a burden
Eight o'clock came cruel today
Can we just lie here instead of leaving?
You and me and Kye had tea there in the kitchen and I was cold
I got up and got my coat
Kissed you three times and winged it home
With a smile wider than my arms could stretch in E minor
And don't go
I could know you better I know
And the photo booth memory's a ghost
Japanese stickers, a toast
To how I could kiss you every mile of the west coast
So Julie, Julie, Jules, can I have a whiskey?
'Cause she got in a car and she never came home
Hello all my friends, can I have a whiskey?
'Cause I won't drive far anyway
Not since I have to go home that way
By the scene of the getaway, hey, hey
[x4]
Hey, hey, hey
[x6]
Geography and biology (Hey, hey, hey)
Just basically don't mesh for me... (Hey, hey, hey)
[x4]
Hey, hey, hey
