Do you want to elope tonight?
Getting lost in the shadows
All dressed up like a switchblade knife
Let's hang in love from the gallows

Or we can take a walk around the lake
There's a garden in the park there
Under the stars next to the fireside
Anywhere is better than here

Oh Mother Mary, take my hand
I'll be a saint, I'll be your man
I'll do most anything 'cause I don't care
Oh Mother Mary, take my hand

Take a ride on the midnight train
We'll fall asleep at the station
Too much wine, driving me insane
And then we'll miss our destination

Oh well, too bad, who cares, it's all right
As long as we stick together
In hell we'll rain in rows of sunshine
We'll watch it rise and shine forever

Oh Mother Mary, take my hand
I'll be a saint, I'll be your man
I'll do most anything 'cause I don't care
Oh Mother Mary, take my hand

Oh Mother Mary, take my hand
I'll be a saint, I'll be your man
I'll do most anything 'cause I don't care
Oh Mother Mary, take my hand
