lyrics

Mary Ann waits at the bus stop
sitting with both feet on the ground
Childhood dreams have all but faded
Imagination once knew no bounds

Now she lives in the real world
Where high teas are for high society
We're all a little mad but keep it under our hats
and Mary Ann dreams of what might have been

Forget the sorrow of yesteryear
Be glad in a mixture of hope and fear
Life begins when you no longer pretend
Mary Ann

Mary Ann tried her best to please them
Fetched the rabbit his fan and gloves
Who are you is more than a question
But Mary Ann answered to their expectations

I don't want to live in the real world
Where high teas are for high society
We're all a little mad but keep it under our hats
and Mary Ann dreams of what might have been

Forget the sorrow of yesteryear
Be glad in a mixture of hope and fear
Life begins when you no longer pretend
Mary Ann

Mary Ann gazes in the mirror
Looking for all she thinks she lost
But the looking glass prophets cast a dim reflection
of fine lines and tired eyes bought with good intentions

I don't wanna live in the real world
Where high teas are for high society
You're all a little mad but you keep it under your hats
and Mary Ann dreams of what might have been

Forget the sorrow of yesteryear
Be glad in a mixture of hope and fear
Life begins when you no longer pretend
Mary Ann
