LYRICS:
She makes me wanna die
Follow where Mary goes
Cherish the things she knows
Says if I change my stride
Then I fly
She makes me wanna die
Change my stride

' When she came to the city she was just a shadow. There was a spotlight on the tenement wall casting her silhouette down the street, past the fire hydrants and over the litter piled in industrial doorways. Former self standing there lost and abandoned. Unaware. Lipstick perfect. Hair moving in a slight breeze . . .'
