I put on my finest summer dress
So light and thin, it was my best
I brushed my hair, I held my breath
I went out to face the wilderness
I went out to face the wilderness
Verse: 2
Men in hats, boys on bikes
Perfect girls, baby dykes
Superstars, blighted ones
I went out to face them one by one
I went out to face them, one by one
Goodbye Maryann
As you turn to watch me
Don't cry Maryann
And don't try to stop me
Verse: 3
Cause I'm gonna go where the lights are bright
Where sacred secrets sail like kites
We've been sleeping girl all our lives
And we never lived no we just survived
And we never lived. We just survived
Verse: 4
I'll take my heart, I'll take my key
I'll find out who, who could care for me
Are there pots of gold, are there floods and fires
Are there thieves and beggars, saints and liars
Are there thieves and beggars, saints and liars?
Goodbye Maryann
As you turn to watch me
Don't cry Maryann
And don't try to stop me
Verse: 5
I put on my finest summer dress
So light and thin, torn at the chest
I brushed my hair, I held my breath
I went out to face the wilderness
I went out to face the wilderness
