Текст: Todd Rundgren. For Lack of Honest Work. Black Maria.

Black Maria, you scare me so
I feel as though my heart stopped dead
You're a liar, this I know
I watch you go around my head

Oh, I'm going down slow, you scare me so
Oh, you never let go, you scare me so

Gay deceiver, my eyes, they burned
My insides turned, my brain, it rolled
Unbeliever but now I've learned
I took my turn, I come up cold

Oh, I'm going down slow, you scare me so
Oh, you never let go, you scare me so

If you must kill me, please let me die

Black Maria, you scare me so
I feel as though my heart stopped dead
You're a liar, this I know
I watch you go around my head

Oh, I'm going down slow, you scare me so
Oh, you never let go, you scare me so

If you must kill me, please let me die
