Mary
Jane
music and lyrics by Charles Ian Chun
I
love my Mary Jane
roll her in my sheet of white and suck the sweet breath
that she's offering me
I love my Mary Jane
all night I want to keep her to myself and lose my
mind within her beauty
the
air I breathe
everything I see
affected by her presence
I hope she never leaves
the way she walks
stopping next to me
I've got to get her out of my mind
she is getting me so high
I
love my Mary Jane
I see her three or four times a day
sometimes I think that she's too hard to obtain
I love my Mary Jane
am I wasting all my precious time losing brain cells
just thinking about her
she
envelopes me
I drop dead at her feet
realizing I will never leave
her apathy
she is all I need
complacent knowing she is killing me
but
she doesn't like me
I think that I flatter myself thinking I can have
her everyday
I'm afraid to face the truth
the fact is, losers just never win the game they
never learned to play
[Surprisingly,
this song is about an actual woman named Mary Jane
whom I had a huge crush on in high school. Never
having even tried marijuana, I was amused when the
Illinois Entertainer described this song as
a "romantic ode to pot."]
