As the bars downtown exhale

Into a street of blinking lights

And you wander out alone into a crowd

Of could-be sex and fights

Wrap your coat real tight around you

Moving past the takeout lines

Past acts of quiet kindness,

Crying drunks, and petty crimes

And it's not cigars and brandy

It's cigarettes and beer

Make no mistake you're in it's wake

You're definitely here

Hail Mary

Full of grace

Hail Crazy Eddie

God bless him stuck in outer space

Hail your mother

Who doesn't want you here

This will all be gone

It'll never disappear

>From the princess born in Burbank

To the lobsterman in Maine

It only takes a high school yearbook

Or an old hit song refrain

And like when Moses dropped his hands

It all comes rushing in

Everything seems possible

We can all start fresh again

And I have to tell ya baby

It's the truth, it's not a lie

We're all still fresh and seventeen

We only have to try

Hail Mary

Full of grace

Hail Crazy Eddie

God bless him stuck in outer space

Hail your father

Who said to conquer fear

This time is real

It'll never disappear
