Hail Mary

lyrics

Hail Mary, mother of grace
blessed are you among sinners
I have not forgotten your face
or your hair, or the mushrooms for dinner

I have not forgotten the things
that you so unwillingly taught me
I know all the right words to sling
I take cigarettes with my coffee

So hail Mary, meet me at the Five-and-dime
and I hope that I will meet you at the end of time
Oh, it's just a little, it's just a little crime
So meet me Mother Mary, meet me with a dime
(Hail Mary full of Grace,
the Lord is with thee.
Blessed are thou among women
and blessed is the fruit of thy womb Jesus.
Holy Mary Mother of God,
pray for us sinners now
and at the hour of our death.
Amen.)

Hail Queen, mother of mercy too
my sweetness and hope, hear me crying
I hope I'm not bothering you
but all of your children are dying

Their minds are inscribed with the death
that you so unwillingly showed them
They keep Hell-fire inside their breath
They fear they are the next God has chosen

So hail Mary, meet me at the corner store
and I hope that I won't meet you like a common whore
Yes, I need the money, can't say what it's for
So meet me Virgin Mary, show me what's in store
(Hail Mary full of Grace,
the Lord is with thee.
Blessed are thou among women
and blessed is the fruit of thy womb Jesus.
Holy Mary Mother of God,
pray for us sinners now
and at the hour of our death.
Amen.)

Hail Mary, I'll swing around your place
And I hope that I can bring a smile to your sweet face
Oh I'm just out searching, searching for a state of grace
So I'll meet you Mother Mary, meet you at your place

(Hail Mary full of Grace,
the Lord is with thee.
Blessed are thou among women
and blessed is the fruit of thy womb Jesus.
Holy Mary Mother of God,
pray for us sinners now
and at the hour of our death.
Amen.)
