Old Man's Bones - Sweet Mary

He takes a coin, and he puts it in the slot machine
Pulls on the lever and he's standing in real close
A kiss on the metal now and it's just for a piece of luck
So sad it's carrying all of his hopes

Sweet little Mary now, she's standing in the corner
She's got a tear forming in the corner of her eye
She says "I Don't want much just something more than this
Get me out of here I'm so bored I could Die"

She says "I don't want to be, I don't want to be the fool
I want to be the player not part of somebody else's game
She says I know what it's going to take to roll the dice
But I don't know what's going to happen if I just don't play"

Sweet little Mary says "There's got to be something more than this
Standing here with some kind of slot machine fool
I think he's a thief must be some kind of bandit"
He's pulled her down so low she can't remember the fall

That girl is so smart, she's so smart and pretty
She could just get on out of there and get anything, anything at all
She says "I don't want to much just something more than this
She screams get me out of here away from it all

She says "I don't want to be, I don't want to be the fool
I want to be the player not part of somebody else's game
She says "I know what it's going to take just to roll the dice
She doesn't know what's going to happen if she just doesn't play"

Watch the tear fall from the corner of her eye
Watch the tear fall from the corner of her eye
Watch the tear fall from the corner of her eye
Watch the tear fall from the corner of her eye
Watch the tear fall from the corner of her eye
Watch the tear fall, Watch the tear fall from the corner of her eye
Watch that tear fall from the corner of her eye
From the corner of her eye
From the corner of her eye
