megadeth'in so far, so good... so what albümünün en iyi ikinci şarkısı. genel olarak uyuşturucu hakkında yazıldığı söylense de mustaine'in açıklamalarına göre kara büyüyle uğraşan bi kızın babası tarafından diri diri toprağa gömülmesi ile ilgilidir. megadeth in en sevdiğim şarkılarından biri olmasının yanında sözleriyle de aşmış bi şarkıdır.
forgive me father for i have sinned
i'm a child of the air, i'm a witch of the wind
and i'm still awake... mary jane
from the earth, up through the trees
i can hear her calling me
her voice rides on the breeze
oh, it's haunting me
no, i can't get away
no, there's no escape
if i know i'm going crazy
i must not be insane
beware my friends, as you pass by
as you are now so once was i
as i am now so you must be
prepare my friends to follow me
forgive me father for i have sinned
i'm a child of the air, i'm a witch of the wind
fingers gripped around my brain
no control, my mind is lame
i'm in the astral plane, and i'll never be the same
never, never, never, never, never, never
never, never, never
it hurts so bad i can't breathe
prepare to follow me
what's the matter mary jane, you had a hard day
as you place the don't disturb sign on the door
you lost your place in line again, what a pity
you never seem to want to dance anymore
it's a long way down
on this roller coaster
the last chance streetcar
went off the track
and you're on it
i hear you're counting sheep again mary jane
what's the point of trying to dream anymore
i hear you're losing weight again mary jane
do you ever wonder who you're losing it for
well it's full speed baby
in the wrong direction
there's a few more bruises
if that's the way
you insist on heading
please be honest mary jane
are you happy
please don't censor your tears
you're the sweet crusader
and you're on your way
you're the last great innocent
and that's why i love you
so take this moment mary jane and be selfish
worry not about the cars that go by
all that matters mary jane is your freedom
keep warm my dear, keep dry
