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
in the Bronx
