Lyrics
Sweet Vacant Marie
She smiles and her eyes light up
And I follow where she leads me
She knows you even if you don't know her
And I want to believe that she needs me
Sweer Marie, sweet vacant Marie
Her there is there only temporarily
Sweet Marie, sweet vacant Marie
Why do you tempt, why do you torture me?
She goes for her daily walk to the river
She says hello to everyone
She promises more than she can ever deliver
She's here and then her memory is gone
Sweet Marie, sweet vacant Marie
Her there is there only temporarily
Sweet Marie, sweet vacant Marie
Yes, she tempts me and she tortures me.
If she has a problem
She might call you with a question
She already has an answer
She just asking what you think
She's Marie, sweet vacant Marie
Why do you tempt? Why do you torture me?
