Mary Jane from 1971 by COOLDAD

Mary Jane was an artist who lived upstairs,
In an old creaky overpriced apartment
Where she would cook cheap meals
Contemplating her deals,
And her promises to her friends

Mary Jane was the one
You used to rely on
But now she's gone and lost it
She used to be fun
But now she's left with her son
Crying lonesomely in her apartment

What happened to the days
When Mary Jane used to stay
And share stories about her adventures
What happened to her
What happened to the days
When she'd be excited to see the sunrise

and we all miss Mary Jane
But now she's gone and washed away
her memories down with the red wine
She screams at you to go away
But begs and calls for you to come by

And I don't know if we can do this anymore
Oh I don't know if I can stand by you at all
Oh I don't know if we can do this anymore
But I have to,
Cause I can't stand to see you fall

Mary Jane was a mother
Who used to show affection
But now she's a stone cold forgetter
She used to be so brave,
Used to face the days with grace
But now she's almost paralyzed
She lives to waste away
Mary Jane you look so grey
But her memories won't be left dead
Cause Mary Jane was a girl who did so many things
And her stories will live on in our heads.
