Life As Mary - Time Is Out

Time is out, this place has gotten crazy
I run tick tock, my exclusive rights chasing me
Nothing helps, no sleep, or pills, or caffeine

Principles and other things that matter
Train track rules, flashing lights preventing danger
No more fools, we got caught by railroad strangers

Give me REM, give me Siouxsie and the Banshees
Staying up all night, drinking gin and reading poetry
Give me REM, give me Patti Smith, amphetamines
Play it all again like a housewife in her forties

Head in the zone, am I dead or am I dreaming
No heroes come, the glove that fits is always missing
I turn it up, there's no bridge for me to scream in

Give me REM, give me Siouxsie and the Banshees
Staying up all night, drinking gin and reading poetry
Give me REM, all I need's The Cure and Morissey
I've got the kids, I've got the plans, I've got it all you see

I beg and plead, squeeze the juice from all the lemons
Epiphany, learn to live with all my demons
Chasing speed, trying hard to make it to the end

Give me REM, give me Siouxsie and the Banshees
Staying up all night, drinking gin and reading poetry
Give me REM, give me Patti Smith, amphetamines
Play it all again like a housewife in her forties

Give me REM, give me Siouxsie and the Banshees
Staying up all night, drinking gin and reading poetry
Give me REM, all I need's The Cure and Morissey
I've got the kids, I've got the plans, I've got it all you see
