Elliott Smith - Pretty Mary K (Other Version) lyrics

Pretty Mary K walks along the docks With some sailor's pay shoved down in her sock Pretty Mary K with some little boy in blue Who can't stay away from you Pretty Mary K, take him back to town I'm down here by the bay where the water pounds Up against the wall, crying black and blue Keeps me away from you Pretty words that you whisper, maybe I misunderstood Somebody's not paying attention What they promised and their word isn't good Oh, Mary K, I can see her face Down there in the waves, painted and erased But I know it's just the reflection of the moon A big fake resembling you Gonna go down in the water, fill my mouth up full of sand I'll be waiting, still impatient With my dead imagination while you're with some other man Pretty Mary K is off in somebody's room I'm down here by the bay with my arm around the moon But I'll be with you soon, just as soon as I pay I walk across the water with pretty Mary k Walk on water, pretty Mary K
