Eyes as blue as the cheapest streets
That you build your hotels on
You take the pennies I'm betting with
Because cash is cashI steal your whiskey and cigarettes
From behind the old television set
It's still got a dial
When I get sick, you smileOh, oh, are you watching?
Sometimes it's so hard to see
Oh, oh, are you watching?
Mary watch over meWhen I was bloodied and broken
From a deadbeat kind of love
You laughed as you held my hand
And said, Go on and cry""But let that be the very last thing
That you give him darling
Now let's go on in the house
And make a voodoo dollOh, oh, are you watching?
Sometimes it's so hard to see
Oh, oh, are you watching?
Mary watch over meGot a faded photograph
Lying just like me
I folded it in half
I keep it with meOh, you didn't go quietly
Into the great white shining light
You were hopped up on love
And singing Johnny CashYou looked up and you yelled at me
You said, "Bad is cheap and good is free
So don't pull any fast ones kid
'Cause Ill be watching youOh, oh, are you watching?
Sometimes it's so hard to see
Oh, oh, are you watching?
Mary watch over me, yeah, yeah, watch over me
