[Verse 1]

I was a sailor

I was a sailor, and now I'm a boat

I was a car

I was a car, and now I'm the road

[Pre-Chorus]

And I was kneeling on the turnpike

With an angel down my throat

[Chorus]

She said "You don't know what it's like

To bow down, down, down to Maria's dead bones"

[Interlude]

(Down, down, down, down)

[Verse 2]

I was in love (I was in love)

I was in love, and now I'm in hell

With Maria's bones talking to myself

[Pre-Chorus]

You don't know what it's like

She said, "He with least money has the most to sell, sell, sell"

And she said, "I've met angels so deep undercover

That they'd sit on Solomon's throne

[Chorus]

And you don't know what it's like

You don't know what it's like

You don't know what it's like

To bow down, down, down, down to Maria's bones"

[Bridge]

(Down, down, down, down, down, down, down...)

[Instrumental Break]

[Outro]

You don't know what it's like

To bow down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down to the power of love, bow down
