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.
