She is almost human, almost sentient machine
Computers keep her all in tact and see her through the day
Situation monitored, adjustments made in time
She cannot tell me what is real; her touch is one of coldest steel

Once upon a time she used to take me by the hand
A kiss upon a child's cheek
Secure from danger's reach

There's problematic data now
It may have gone too far
Circuits pushed to overload
Heartbeat nearing monotone

Mary Jane, what's happened to you
Can't we put you back the way you (Were)
How did you expect us all to go on as if nothing tragic ever happens
Mary Jane, why don't you signal
Can't you hear a single word I say

She never was one to complain, but now she never speaks
She used to pick the gypsy mushrooms along the forest path
Now she lies alone and stares up at the whitewashed walls
Mary Jane just please wake up and stay with me a few more years

Vital signs begin to spark
A flicker in the waiting dark
Her eyes begin to blink again
A smile spreads across the lips
I kiss the warming fingertips
She takes my hand and winks at me
I fall down on my knees

She is almost human, and I visit once a week
Her voice a painful whisper of those many years ago
She asks me why we brought her back when her soul had nearly flown
She gazes at the monitors, countdown to returning home

Mary Jane, what happened to you
Can't they put you back the way you
How did you survive to come back in from all the pouring rain
Mary Jane, what happened to you when you closed your eyes and went to sleep
