Lyrics
Marion cooks in the hotel kitchen for the small town whores and the men on a mission/she's never stepped a foot outside the lines of new york and she lives her days like nothin's missing because there ain't no need for dead-end wishing/she's baking pies and she knows what she came here for don't forget what the heart's for/when the heart starts beggin' for a little more, fill it up with what won't leave you sad and sore till you remember what you came for that old man still stands at the old church door where i left my heart with the preacher's boy when i left this town to find what i was looking for and the choir's still singing through their scratchy throats with their slanted pitch and their sour notes but their hearts are full because they know what they came here for
