Lyrics

In a town there's a house
In the house there's a bed
In the bed there's a man on his back
She says she likes it like that

In a room there's a print
Of a klimpt
In a frame staring down off the wall, wall, wall
Is there a god for us all?
Fade to the man on the bed he said

Darling when you come for me
Hail mary!
Darling when you set me free
Hail mary!
Darling when you look my way
You always seem to be
The better part of me
Hail mary...

There's a heart, in a cage
And the heart like a clock 'til it stops
Sends the blood to his veins
Back on the surface again
In a room, in a room with a view
Of the love that is killing his pain, pain, pain
Into the walls of his sin
He's breakin' out as she's breakin' in

Darling when you come for me
Hail mary!
Darling when you set me free
Hail mary!
Darling when you look my way
You always seem to be
The better part of me
You always seem to be
The better part of me
You always seem to be
The better part of me
Hail mary..

I'm a man in a room
With a view of the stars hanging over the town
Hell mary where are we now?
I'm looking up are you looking down?

Darling when you come for me
Hail mary!
Darling when you set me free
Hail mary!
Darling when you look my way
You always seem to be
The better part of me

Darling when you come for me
(Hail mary!) hail mary!
Darling when you set me free
(Hail mary!) hail mary!
Darling when you look my way
You always seem to be
The better part of me
Hail mary!
