Mary Shut The Garden Door Lyrics - Morph The Cat - Fagen Donald

They came in under the radar 

When our backs were turned around 

In a fleet of Lincoln Town Cars 

They rolled into our town 

Confounded all six senses 

Like an opiate in the brain 

Mary shut the garden door 

Looks a lot like rain 

Mary shut the garden door 

Mary shut the garden door 

We pounded Rachel's radio 

For reports about the bridge 

There was nothing on but static 

Nothing in the fridge 

We lay there listening to the wind 

Whistling through the pines 

When we heard the engines idling 

Saw the headlights through the blinds 

Mary shut the garden door 

Mary shut the garden door 

Rough dreams 

Those voices in the kitchen 

I woke up 

And sensed the new condition 

They won 

Storms raged 

Things changed 

Forever 

So if you ever see an automaton 

In a midprice luxury car 

Better roll the sidewalks up 

Switch on your lucky star 

'Cause this zombie does impressions 

But not really to amuse 

This ballad is for lovers 

With something left to lose 

Mary shut the garden door 

Mary shut the garden door
