Lyrics Born Again (Live) - Leslie Fish

Mary Margaret hated life
She hid from trouble and pain and strife
When she died of a heart attack
No human body would take her back

Born again! Born again!
We're all content to be born again
Not on any celestial plane
But right back here with the same old pain

She came back as a butterfly
With no thought but to eat and fly
Till she died of a spider's kiss
And thought, "There has to be more than this!"

Born again! Born again!
We're all content to be born again
Not on any celestial plane
But right back here with the same old pain

Well, this time, Mary was born a cat
She learned to cuddle and play and rat
She died old with a happy purr...
But thought there ought to be more to her

Born again! Born again!
We're all content to be born again
Not on any celestial plane
But right back here with the same old pain

Next time human, she had more sense
She taught classes in self-defense
Till the cops came to shut her down
She took out ten in the final round

Born again! Born again!
We're all content to be born again
Not on any celestial plane
But right back here with the same old pain

This time she was an energy cloud
She ringed the earth in a hopeful shroud
And preached wherever the currents curled
Till revolution swept the world

Born again! Born again!
We're all content to be born again
Not on any celestial plane
But right back here with the same old pain

Then a voice told her, "You've done well.
You cleaned the earth of one piece of hell
So choose the form you prefer to take"
She said, "I'm human, for heaven's sake!"

Born again! Born again!
We're all content to be born again
Not on any celestial plane
But right back here with the same old pain

Hell and heaven are here on Earth
Every death is another birth
The world we get is the world we make
So save the earth, for your own sake!

Born again! Born again!
We're all content to be born again
Not on any celestial plane
But right back here with the same old pain
