Ev'rybody wants something from you
Ev'rybody wants a piece of Mary
Lush valley all dressed in green,
Just ripe for the picking

God, I want to get you out of here,
You can ride in a pink Mustang
When I think of what we've done to you,
Oh, Mary, can you hear me?

Growing up isn't always fun,
They tore your dress and stole your ribbons
They see you cry, they lick their lips,
But butterflies don't belong in nets

Oh, Mary, can you hear me?
Mary, you're bleeding. Mary, don't be afraid
We're just waking up and I hear help is on the way
Mary, can you hear me?
Mary, like Jimi said. Mary, don't be afraid
'Cause even the wind, even the wind cries your name

Ev'rybody wants you sweetheart
Ev'rybody got a dream of glory
Las Vegas got a pinup girl
They got her armed as they buy and sell her
Rivers of milk running dry,
Can't you hear the dolphins crying?
What'll we do when our babies scream,
Fill their mouths with some acid rain?

Oh, Mary, can you hear me?
Mary, you're bleeding. Mary, don't be afraid
We're just waking up and I hear help is on the way
Mary, can you hear me?
Mary, like Jimi said. Mary, don't be afraid
'Cause even the wind, even the wind cries your name

Oh, butterflies don't belong in nets
