Cathedral Birds - The Girl With No Name

A bunch of flowers on a country lane
A photograph wrapped in cellophane
The newspapers called her Mary Jane
The girl with no name
A candle burning in the rain
A slow parade of tourists came
The newspapers called her Mary Jane
The girl with no name
You can't see the future through a broken telescope
You can’t keep from drowning by clinging onto hope
You can’t keep running trying to escape
When she was the girl with no name
Her anorak was ripped and stained
Her daddy's eyes were red with pain
The papers called her Mary Jane
The girl with no name
The priest invoked the devils flame
The congregation knelt in shame
The papers called her Mary Jane
The girl with no name
You can't see the future through a broken telescope
You can’t keep from drowning by clinging onto hope
You can’t keep running trying to escape
When she was the girl with no name
