Scared and depressed
Her visions of one day go racing the next

This measure repeated 3 times

(with Wurlitzer figure 1, 4 times)
So she takes her pills
Careful and round

One of these days she's gonna

But she's trying to be a good girl
And give 'em what they want
But Margery's dreaming of...

Trying to be a good girl
And give 'em what they want
But Margery's dreaming of horses

Counting Crows - Another Horsedreamer's Blues at the Greek
Their first song after the intermission, with Adam raising the curtain. Los Angeles Greek Theater July 21, 2009. The audio's not ideal only because of how close we were, but he rarely plays it and the video's good.
