Lyrics

It's like a whisper in the night

Describing a subtle presence or message in the silence of the night.

Her scent still lingers in the air

Emphasizing the lasting impression of someone's fragrance in the surroundings.

And I toss and turn like a wild man

Expressing inner turmoil and restlessness, possibly due to personal demons.

Who's got demons running through his hair

Metaphorically illustrating intense inner struggles or challenges.


I had lost my bet on Mary

Referring to a lost bet on a person named Mary, suggesting a failed relationship.

She ran away without saying goodbye

Highlighting Mary's abrupt departure without a farewell.

Now, I'm cornered by the bloodhounds

Feeling trapped or cornered by relentless pursuers.

They'll tear my throat 'fore I can even cry

Expressing imminent danger and the severity of the situation.


I'm praying like the day won't come

Praying for the avoidance of a difficult situation or event.

She brought me down to my knees

Describing a significant downfall or hardship caused by Mary.

I'm screaming up to heaven

Seeking divine intervention and assistance in coping with the pain.

Lord, help me please

Pleading for help from a higher power.

I got her poison in my blood

Indicating the enduring influence of Mary's negative impact.

Damn, if I was a fool

Expressing regret or frustration about being deceived or foolish.

I guess I'm gonna pay the Devil's dues

Acknowledging the impending consequences or hardships to be faced.


If my crazy makes me a blind man

Embracing one's unconventional or erratic behavior as a guide.

Then let my crazy guide me on my way

Accepting the consequences of unconventional actions.

For it's written in the poet's dreams

Referencing a predestined connection in the dreams of a poet.

She'll haunt me down to my grave

Emphasizing the lasting impact of Mary's influence even in death.


I'm praying like the day won't come

Repeating the prayer motif, suggesting ongoing desperation and vulnerability.

She brought me down to my knees

Reiterating the impact of Mary's actions on the speaker's vulnerability.

I'm screaming up to heaven

Continuing to seek divine assistance in coping with the situation.

Lord, help me please

Repeating the plea for help from a higher power.

I got her poison in my blood

Stressing the enduring and harmful presence of Mary in the speaker's life.

Damn, if I was a fool

Expressing a sense of inevitability and regret for being deceived.

I guess I'm gonna pay the Devil's dues

Acknowledging the inescapable consequences or hardships to be faced.


I'll see her at the crossroads

Anticipating a crucial meeting or confrontation with Mary at a significant juncture.

With Hell at my heels

Describing a pursuit by negative forces or consequences.

I'll throw away my sorrow

Symbolically letting go of sorrow while holding onto the memory of Mary.

But never my girl, my girl, oh my girl

Emphasizing the enduring significance of Mary in the speaker's heart.
