Oh Mary Mary, I think I'm crackin' up Everything is fallin' apart My arms are empty and you have just put A forty-five slug through my heart I've been riding the D train all day and all the night And I just can't seem to come down I wish I could reach you but you're so out of touch And now you don't even want me around Didn't I do everything you asked me to Didn't I give you everything you wanted So why are you always down there on your knees Prayin' to Our Lady of the Bronx Out on Decatur a crowd has gathered round A Hasidic hangin' on a cross On his knees down in the gutter A Mayo man is blessin' himself From deep inside a tenement building A Cuban woman raises her voice She'd just heard the news on Channel 11 "Madonna appearin' in the Bronx" Oh Mary Mary, I can't make it on my own This town is tearin' me apart We've got to get out, we've got to get back home The walls are closin' in fast I can hear their footsteps comin' Now they've stopped outside our door This could be our last chance But you won't come with me, will you No you'd sooner stay and pray for redemption In the Bronx
