I thought you wanted to be an artist
So baby what are you doing here?
That apron cant hide the dream you denied
But you just settle for this 'for now'
But can you handle serving drinks to men
Who just want to touch you?
No need for that brave face around me
You shouldn't stand for what you're put through

So run Mary, run
Before this caf?raps you
Yeah run Mary, run
Before you're left here for dead

You escaped to that city office
It helped but it wasn't much better
You spend all day on the phone and talk about loans
And things which dont even matter
And paper flows from desk to desk
And "where it all goes I couldn't care less
A rainforest a day it keeps me in pay
But i cant control where it all goes"

So run Mary, run
Before this city drowns you
Yes run Mary, run
Before you're left here for dead

I thought you wanted to be an artist
So Mary get out those pens
You can draw me and put me up on your wall
Or in a glass case in a museum hall
Either way no I dont really mind
At least I'll be immortal
And with my soul and your ink
Perfectly entwined
We can live forever

So lets run Mary, run
before I change my mind
yeah lets run Mary, run
I dont wanna get left behind
No I dont wanna get left behind
No I dont wanna get left behind
No I dont wanna get left behind
