Martha's Mantra (For the Pain)

Martha takes the greyhounds She said she lost her mantra... Way down south But all that repetition just got her down Got her down Now she says she won't do drugs, 'Cause she found something to love She cured herself of everything Nothing left but hair and skin The only thing I asked her Was if she had a plaster For my pain She closed her eyes and took my hand She said that God might have a plan for me But making love in Martha's room, I felt like I could see through her to him But heaven is the place that's open When all the bars in town are closed Heaven is the place I never find The only thing I told her Was that God would have no answer For my pain Na, nah, nah, nah She through my clothes against the wall She said 'I've met your type before, Don't go Oh, don't go' I've cured myself of everything And now I think I know what makes you tick She tied my hands above my head, Said a prayer and fetched her wit Said the devil hides within my heart The only thing I asked her is did she have a plaster For my pain... Oh, for the pain
