Mary miracle, you cried blood!
down the cheeks of the non-believers
on the marble floor came a flood
on the television disbelief
and i want to know how you
came to value
the practice of dragging
by the hair those pals who
on their invisible crosses
of their capitalist bosses
who in the trash tossed out
that red beating thought that
that all is not lost and
that belief at all cost and

mary miracle, you cried blood!
down the thighs of the porcelain angels
there by the riverbed thrashing in the mud
swimming upstream against all odds
like a scene of wild horses
all those natural forces
that can’t be coerced by
all this language of non-myth
hey, my life without it
is just an opulent pageant
of continuous non-death
i need that red beating thought that
that all is not lost and
that belief at all cost and
that believe at all cost

mary miracle, you cried blood! yeah
down the thighs of those porcelain angels
there on the riverbed thrashing in the mud, yeah
swimming upstream against all odds
like a scene of wild horses
all those natural forces
that can’t be coerced by
all this language of non-myth
hey, my life without it
is just an opulent pageant
of continuous non-death
i need that red beating thought that
that all is not lost and
that belief at all cost and
i need that red beating thought that
that all is not lost and
that all is not lost and
that belief at all cost

mary miracle, you cried blood!
