She’s my girl my sweet regret I can’t keep it all inside
So fan the flames of punishment while I boil myself alive
It all comes out it doesn’t matter the colors of the robe
So take away the martyr’s cloak and give it back to Job

Give it back and get a life she took it back now she has the knife
And it’s so hard to know Maryjo Marigold

Freedom don’t belong to her but she don’t belong to me
And it don’t bring me satisfaction to shoot my enemy
The war’s declared on human nature we watched it on TV
Now I’ve been taken prisoner She’s thrown away the key

Thrown away & blown away She’s gone to where she wants to stay
And it’s so hard to know Maryjo Marigold

So dance around the red tornado spinning through the rain
Gauge the wind & pounce whether you’re drunk or just insane
Marriage oh my sweet regret my eyes are red and sore
I’ve been trying to run away with my feet nailed to the floor

Run away and leave today She’s praying for it every day
And it’s so hard to know Maryjo Marigold
