Hold in my breath, not taking a stepThe good church has closed its doors on meGod don't like my dirty feet
Burnin' the lawn, everyone's gone
Ain't no barbecue going on todayI drink my dinner in the shade
Days and days go by
Children laughin', still I don't smile at allMary's calling to me
"Can't you see what I see"
She would never let me down
It's been a long time at the bottom
I spent a lot of time way down there
It's been a long time at the bottom
I don't know how I made it hereLivin' a lie, my kisses are dryGot nowhere else left to run
My love is blind, deaf and dumb
Heaven can't wait to lock up the gate
Tell me that I never could be long
I had my chance but got it wrong
Days and days go by
Children laughin', still I don't smile at all
Mary's calling to me
"Can't you see what I see"
She would never let me down
It's been a long time at the bottom
I spent a lot of time way down there
It's been a long time at the bottom
I don't know how I made it here
Mother Mary, stay with me
Don't let me die
You're the only god part left of my trash
And God knows I can't change me
I've tried and tried
I never meant to make you cry
It's been a long time at the bottom
I spent a lot of time way down there
It's been a long time at the bottom
I don't know how I made it here
