I first met Molly when I was seventeen
She made me want to be free
She showed me things that I had never seen
Oh, sweet Molly, what do you do to me?
She took me out raving and kept me up all night
Watching shit on the TV
She ensnared my senses in a web of pulsing light
Oh sweet Molly, what do you do to me?
Molly, you can't stay away
The umbrella looks good in the corner, love, but the open door's not safe
We're dancing until the break of day
Oh, Molly, you're gonna make me pay...
Molly is a wild child; an obsessive-compulsive freak
She courts chaos in symmetry
She'll leave you in the gutter if she sees you when you're weak
Oh sweet Molly, what do you do to me?
Molly, this cannot be real
I'll write letters to all my friends and tell 'em how I feel,
Put the boots behind the door where they belong
Oh Molly, I wrote you this song.
Molly talks shit at a hundred miles an hour about every fucking subject under the sun
Mistress of obscurity
She left me in bed with pounding head and a fight I never won
Oh sweet Molly, what do you do-
Molly! You can't stay away,
The umbrella looks good in the corner, love, but the open door's not safe,
We're dancing without gravity
Oh Molly, what do you do to me?
