Angels announce with trumpets 

Crown you with jewels and stars 

Hercules lives 

Next door to Venus and Mars 

Beside your pretty blue shoulder 

something may trouble Jerome 

Now that you're up with your friends 

I know you'll never come home 

Singing so babe, I know this song 

Miss Mary I'm nothing without you 

Everything I've done is wrong 

Miss Mary I try not to doubt you 



I walk in their brilliant parade 

Banish the primitive gloom 

Now I know where I can find you 

Hung up in some Frenchman's room 

Pitiful Magdalena for all to see 

Must have been beautiful 

So just show a little mercy to me 



Hey babe, I sing this song 

Miss Mary I'm nothing without you 

Everything I've done is wrong 

Miss Mary I try not to doubt you 



There at the foot of your staircase 

I stood to take in the scene 

All the ashes of roses 

The veined steps of marble 

Purple, gold and green 

Oh I wish you were my queen 



They only want to possess you 

Lock you away in a vault 

Such a heavenly vision 

And dress you up in blue 

I guess it's not their fault 



I know this song 

Miss Mary I'm nothing without you 

Everything I've done is wrong 

Miss Mary I try not to doubt you 



So babe, I sing this song 

Miss Mary I'm nothing without you 

Everything I've done is wrong 

Miss Mary I try not to doubt you
