Our Lady Of The Bronx Lyrics

Oh Mary Mary, I think I'm crackin' up

Everthing is fallin' apart

My arms are empty and you have just put

A fourty-five slug through my heart

I've been riding the D train alll day and all the night

And I just can't seem to come down

I wish I could reach you but you're so out of touch

And now you don't even want me around

Didn't I do everything you asked me to

Didn't I give you everything you wanted

So why are you always down there on your knees

Prayin' to Our Lady of the Bronx

Out on Decatur a crowd has gathered round

A Hasidic hangin' on a cross

On his knees down in the gutter

A Mayo man is blessin' himself

>From deep inside a tenement building

A Cuban woman raises her voice

She'd just heard the news on Channel 11

"Madonna appearin' in the Bronx"

Oh Mary Mary, I can't make it on my own

This town is tearin' me apart

We've got to get out, we've got to get back home

The walls are closin' in fast

I can hear their footsteps comin'

Now they've stopped outside our door

This could be our last chance

But you won't come with me, will you

No you'd sooner stay and pray for redemption
