Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I got seven pictures of Buddha
The prophet's on my tongue
Eleven angels of mercy sighing over
That black hole in the sun
[Verse 2]
My heart's dark, but it's risin'
I'm pullin' all the faith I can see
From that black hole on the horizon
I hear your voice calling me
[PreChorus]
Let it rain, let it rain, let it rain, let it rain
Let it rain, let it rain, let it rain
[Chorus]
Meet me at Mary's place
We're gonna have a party
Meet me at Mary's place
We're gonna have a party
Tell me, how do we get this thing started?
Meet me at Mary's place (Meet me at Mary's place)
[Verse 3]
Familiar faces around me
Laughter fills the air
Your loving grace surrounds me
Everybody is here
Furniture's out on the front porch
Music's up loud
I dream of you in my arms
And I lose myself in the crowd
[PreChorus]
Let it rain, let it rain, let it rain, let it rain
Let it rain, let it rain, let it rain
[Chorus]
Meet me at Mary's place
We're gonna have a party
Meet me at Mary's place
We're gonna have a party
Tell me, how do you live broken-hearted?
Meet me at Mary's place (Meet me at Mary's place)
[Verse 4]
Meet me at Mary's place
Meet me at Mary's place
[Verse 5]
I got a picture of you in my locket
I keep it close to my heart
It's a light shining in my breast
Leading me through the dark
Seven days, seven candles
In my windows, lighting your way
Your favorite record's on the turntable
I drop the needle and pray
[Bridge]
Turn it up
Band's countin' out midnight (Turn it up)
Floor's rumblin' loud (Turn it up)
Singer's callin' up daylight (Turn it up)
Waiting for that shout from the crowd (Turn it up)
[Bridge]
Waiting for that shout from the crowd (Turn it up)
Waiting for that shout from the crowd (Turn it up)
Waiting for that shout from the crowd (Turn it up)
Waiting for that shout from the crowd (Turn it up)
Waiting for that shout from the crowd (Turn it up)
[PreChorus]
Turn it up, turn it up, turn it up, turn it up
Turn it up, turn me up
[Chorus]
Meet me at Mary's place
We're gonna have a party
Meet me at Mary's place
We're gonna have a party
Tell me, how do we get this thing started?
Meet me at Mary's place (Meet me at Mary's place)
Come on and meet me at Mary's place (Meet me at Mary's place)
[Verse 6]
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do (Meet me at Mary's place)
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do (Meet me at Mary's place)
[Outro]
Meet me at Mary's place
Meet me at Mary's place
Meet me at Mary's place
Oh, gonna make it rain (Meet me at Mary's place)
Let it rain, let it rain, let it rain, let it rain
Let it rain, let it rain, let it rain
