lyrics

Ask me all your questions,
then roll my eyes
When they stop moving i say,
"TRY AGAIN NEXT TIME"
I'm the "Psycho-Slate" of humans,
I'm written in chalk
So close my lid and open up
my mystery box

She plays her trade,
I'm the modern
Welcome to the '40's, Mary Carter
Could you look a little harder?
Come and look a little harder

Pick me up and dust me off
$5.99
I want to be your magic 8 ball,
at least, most of the time
You shook me for your answers,
and that was okay
So come and call your pockets baby
and fire away

I'm going off to war now,
come and find me
I said I'm
going off to war now,
come and find me
Or you could take the long drive all the way
to Cincinnati

She plays her trade,
I'm the martyr
Welcome to the future, Mary Carter
If i stand here and I scream a little harder
Could you hear me?
Could you hear me, Mary Carter?

I said
"Oh I want to be your martyr"
Look inside of me,
inside of me,
inside of me
Here I stand, a man
alone, I know
Can you hear me, Mary Carter?
