Summer Dress

And don't try to stop me
The superstars, the blighted ones

I went out to face the wilderness
And we never lived, we just survived
We've been sleeping girl all our lives
MaryAnn, MaryAnn

I went out to face the wilderness
And don't try to stop me
I went out to face the wilderness
'Cause I'm gonna go where the lights are bright

I'll take my heart, I'll take my key
Don't cry MaryAnn
The perfect girls, the baby dykes
Don't cry
And we never lived, we just survived
I brushed my hair, I held my breath
I went out to face them one by one
Are there thieves and beggars, saints and liars?
The men in hats, the boys on bikes

So light and thin, torn at the chest
And so goodbye MaryAnn
And I'll find out who, who could care for me
Are there pots of gold, are there floods and fires?
I went out to face the wilderness
I put on my finest summer dress

I went out to face them one by one
Are there thieves and beggars, saints and liars?
Don't cry MaryAnn
Where sacred secrets sail like kites

I brushed my hair, held my breath
And so goodbye MaryAnn
As you turn to watch me
As you turn to watch me
