Rundgren, Todd - Black Maria Lyrics






Black maria, you scare me so
I feel as though my heart stop 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, Lord

(Ooh) Black maria, you scare me so
I feel as though my heart stop 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, Lord

  1. K.... P....

    still here and listening in 2019... thank you for this gem, Todd!

  2. I.... ....

    I'm going to record this tomorrow. I always thought this was a blues standard, something the Allman Brothers had played. I'll have a Fender vs. Les Paul dual lead. More edge and power because this is not only the saddest song ever written, it's the wisest

  3. K.... K....

    The rock edge/tinge this song has is really cool

  4. S.... M....

    Considered a musical genius by everybody that knows anything about it.......

  5. D.... M....

    ...Where it gets really bluesy! I got to hear him do this in Austin back in the naughty nineties.

  6. C.... S....

    They don't make songs this good anymore.

  7. K.... D....

    Great song....... Named my German Shepherd from it.

    K.... D....

    How cute. I had a cat I named after Melvin and the Blue Notes. Every time "Melvin" would meow he would purse his lips and just looked so sad and blue.

  8. B.... C....

    Cleveland stadium tripping on Mr natural, the place was melting, if you must kill me please let me die good shit

    B.... C....
