As you drag your feet through the swamp of your home
You realise you're happiest left alone
Some time to kick up your feet and realise what's wrong
Some time to chew your thoughts down to the bone
All the money you said you saved
Working those hours on the minimum wage
You saved your coins like nuts in the winter but
You never turned from a squirrel to a sparrow when Spring came
Are you coming down?
I said Mary, Mary you're always so sad
I said Mary, this is the best life you'll ever have
As you comb through the knots of your routine
Taking steps forward to where you've already been
Oh you drag your hips to the beats of 'Billie Jean'
But you dance like a rusty machine
All the money you said you saved
Working those hours on the minimum wage
You saved your coins like nuts in the winter but
You never turned from a squirrel to a sparrow when Spring came
Are you coming down?
I said Mary, Mary you're always so sad
I said Mary, this is the best life you'll ever have
And around and around and around we go
And around and around and around we go
