MARY QUEEN OF ARKANSAS
Mary queen of Arkansas
it's not too early for dreamin'
The sky is grown with cloud seed sown and 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 livewire 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
Oh, you're not man enough for me to hate or woman enough for kissing
Oh, the big top is for dreamers, we can take the circus all the way to the border
And the gallows wait for martyrs whose papers are in order
But I was not born to live to die and you were not born for queenin'
Oh, 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, ooh, to lie in bait and you almost got me believin'
But on your bed, Mary, I can see the shadow of a noose
Whoa, I don't understand how you can hold me so tight and love me so damn loose
But I know a place where we can go, Mary
Where I can get a good job and start out all over again clean
The sky is grown with cloud seed sown and 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 livewire 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
Oh, you're not man enough for me to hate or woman enough for kissing
Oh, the big top is for dreamers, we can take the circus all the way to the border
And the gallows wait for martyrs whose papers are in order
But I was not born to live to die and you were not born for queenin'
Oh, 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, ooh, to lie in bait and you almost got me believin'
But on your bed, Mary, I can see the shadow of a noose
Whoa, I don't understand how you can hold me so tight and love me so damn loose
But I know a place where we can go, Mary
Where I can get a good job and start out all over again clean
Oh, I got contacts deep in
MARY, REINA DE ARKANSAS
Mary, reina de Arkansas,
no es demasiado pronto para soñar
El cielo se ha llenado de las nubes que sembramos y el amor de un
bastardo puede ser redentor
Mary, reina mía, tu blando cuerpo esta reviviendo
No, no eres demasiado mayor para profanar, los criados sólo se levantan
Yo sólo soy un acróbata solitario, el alambre es mi oficio
He sido el limpiabotas de tu mocoso ácido y la rata de muelle de tu
estado
Mary, reina mía, tus deseos de libertad han desaparecido
No eres bastante hombre para que te odie ni bastante mujer para besarte
La carpa es para soñadores, podemos llevar el circo por todo el camino
hasta la frontera
Y la horca espera a los mártires cuyos papeles están en regla
Pero yo no nací para vivir para morir y tú no naciste para reinar
No es demasiado tarde para infiltrarse, los criados sólo se marchan
Mary, reina de Arkansas, tu blanca piel es engañosa
Te despiertas y esperas ser el anzuelo y casi consigues que te crea
Pero en tu cama, Mary, vislumbro la sombra de una soga
No comprendo como puedes abrazarme tan fuerte y amarme con tanta
soltura
Pero sé un sitio donde podemos ir Mary
Donde puedo conseguir un buen trabajo y empezarlo todo de nuevo
Tengo contactos en el interior de México, donde los criados han sido
vistos
