Waiting for Mary (What Are We Doing Here?) Songtext
von Pere Ubu

Welcome to Mars!
It′s open all hours.
What are we doing here?"
Bill's in the back and Fred′s on the phone, sayin,
"What are we doing here?"

Oh, he was sayin that you are never alone in the Twilight Zone.
"What are we doing here?"

Waiting. For. Mary
Oh.

I oughta know but my memory is goin'.
I'm down on my knees.
I′m beggin you please.
Don′t mind the stares we've paid for these chairs.
And keep up that smile, it might be awhile.

"What are we doing here?"


Waiting. For. Mary
Oh.
Oh, I.
Won... der. Why.
She can′t. Be.
On time. Ever?

What do you know, it had to be snowin!
I'm down on my knees.
I′m beggin you please.
Oh, what do you see?
Why, it had to be me, sayin, What?
What are we doing here?
Now, one at a time or all in a line, say it:

Waiting. For. Mary.
Waiting. For. Mary.
Waiting. For. Mary.
Oh.
