I can stand at the back and still be the first in line
I can take you out with just one look in the eye
Make no mistake I'm coming on after you
When you say those things, what d'ya want me to do?

Safe to say you've gone and messed up good
Let's see if you're still standing when I'm facing
you
Want the first shot like cowards always have
Take it but make it good or you'll wind up dead
Take it but make it good

Hey Black Mariah
Welcome in, no life, no reason
Hey Black Mariah
Finding something to believe in
Hey Black Mariah
Welcome in, no life, no reason
(always on my, always on my mind)

The situation's almost got me down
Thrown in the back and driven right out of time
Face the facts, the writings on the wall
Morning, noon and night, can you hear me call?
Morning, noon and night

Hey Black Mariah
Welcome in, no life, no reason
Hey Black Mariah
Finding something to believe in
Hey Black Mariah
Welcome in, no life, no reason
(always on my, always on my mind)

Something to believe in

Hey Black Mariah
Welcome in, no life, no reason
Hey Black Mariah
Finding something to believe in
Hey Black Mariah
Welcome in, no life, no reason
Hey Black Mariah
Finding something to believe in

(always on my, always on my mind)
