Lyrics Mary Queen Of Arkansas - Live at HSBC Arena, Buffalo, NY - 11/22/2009 - Bruce Springsteen



Mary queen of Arkansas, it's not too early for dreamin'
Sky is grown with cloud seed sown, a bastard's love can be redeeming
Mary, my queen, your soft hulk is reviving
No, you're not too late to desecrate, the servants are just rising
Well, I'm just a lonely acrobat, the live wire is my trade
I've been a shine boy for your acid brat and a wharf rat of your state
Mary, my queen, your blows for freedom are missing
You're not man enough for me to hate or woman enough for kissing
Well, the big top is for dreamers, we can take that circus all the way to the border
And the gallows wait for martyrs whose papers are in order
Yeah, but I was not born to live to die, and you weren't born for queenin'
Yeah, it's not too late to infiltrate, the servants are just leavin'
Mary, queen of Arkansas, your white skin is deceivin'
You wake and wait to lie in bait, and you almost got me believin'
On your bed, Mary, I can see the shadow of a noose
I understand how you could hold me so tight, love me so loose
Yeah, but I know a place where we can go, Mary
Where I can get a good job and start out all over again clean
I got contacts deep in Mexico where the servants have been seen
