Lyrics to Mary, Crashing Down, Thrift Store Gypsy, New York

“Mary” (verse 1) She’s got everything she wants, She’s got everything she needs, Got a four door sports car, house of her dreams Got white picket fences, give her diamond rings But she don’t need them, she don’t need them Her head’s stuck in a pipe dream She gets everything she sees Claims shop-a-holic as a disease Thinks that plastic or paper, both gonna save her Money can’t buy her way out of danger Mary’s gonna find out one day, that all these things will fade away (Chorus) Mary, you’re very confused Got a lot of issues you need to go through Got a one track mind, when you take your time You’ll find everything you need your cash can’t buy You’re gonna find, that everything’s gonna be alright (Verse 2) She’s got all her money can buy But she’s got nothing left inside She tries to find God sipping on a bottle A little marijuana gets a bit harder Try to put it down, it’ll come back stronger Mary’s gonna find out one day, that all these things are gonna change… (Chorus) ——————————————- “Thrift Store Gypsy” Your pockets are fully stocked With cigarettes and lollipops Your favorite songs aren’t on the radio You disregard the debutantes Who scoff at you in nonchalance About the way you want to wear your clothes Don’t read the magazines Filled with rehabbed beauty queens Cause they don’t have a thing to do with you (Chorus) Thrift Store Gypsy, Always iffy about everything mainstream It never was your scene Thrift Store Gypsy, I wish I could have your bravery inside of me To go against society I see you on the L train Nose buried in Hemingway And I wonder where you like to spend your time The Jesus hanging round your neck Your hair so perfect in such a mess Suggests there’s more to you than meets the eye You’ve been told what’s really best Climb corporate ladders with broken steps But you know that there’s more to life than this (Chorus) (Bridge) (Chorus) Cause sometimes I’m not who I want to be ————————————————————————————— “New York” (Verse 1) The Skyline shines like Ch
