Fly Mary
Don't listen, dear
to the things they try to press on you
it's not worth wasting your time
you can't do that much searching
without going blind
some special meaning that they lost within the paragraphs
that they didn't even write
just imagine what they'd see
if they'd open their eyes
but they're never gonna open their eyes
so go, fly, mary
you no longer have to roam
goodbye, mary
july's sweet breeze will bring you home
they're peering in at you through broken windows
and they turn their backs when you go outside
and yet they're treating you like you're
the one with something to hide
and they can't help it if they think it's kinda funny that
you wear black all the time
just imagine what they'd see if they'd open their eyes
but they're never gonna open their eyes
you sit alone in your room
when silver buttons fall
the elephant still likes you
Vuela Mary
No escuches, querida
a las cosas que intentan imponerte
no vale la pena perder tu tiempo
no puedes buscar tanto
sin quedarte ciega
algún significado especial que perdieron dentro de los párrafos
que ni siquiera escribieron
solo imagina lo que verían
si abrieran sus ojos
pero nunca van a abrir sus ojos
así que ve, vuela, Mary
ya no tienes que vagar
despedida, Mary
la dulce brisa de julio te llevará a casa
te observan a través de ventanas rotas
y te dan la espalda cuando sales
y aún así te tratan como si
tuvieras algo que ocultar
y no pueden evitar pensar que es un poco gracioso que
siempre vistes de negro
solo imagina lo que verían si abrieran sus ojos
pero nunca van a abrir sus ojos
te sientas sola en tu habitación
cuando caen botones plateados
el elefante todavía te quiere
