Mary had a little plan
She’s doing the best she can
All the kids thought it was absurd
But Mary knew that she was a bird
Locked in a car, how she’d come so far
Mary had a little plan

She didn’t know how to drive
No she hadn’t been long enough alive
The keys were just sitting out
She knew what thrill was about
Climbing to the front, hands on the wheel
Mary didn’t know how to drive

The garage was sealed to the floor
Mary hadn’t smelled this smell before
She was dizzy but she felt kinda proud
She started up that engine loud
The gas grew thick, and poor Mary felt sick
The garage was sealed to the floor

Mary had a little plan
She’s doing the best she can
All the kids thought it was absurd
But Mary knew that she was a bird
Her body was dead, but flew like a bird in her head
Yeah Mary had a little plan
