"Pretty Mary K (Dead Imagination) (Either/Or demos)" as written by and Steven P. Smith....
Almost forgot
Started to say
Rode into the sun
Past everyone
Hallelujah, pretty Mary K
I found faith in the infirmary
There's a soldier lying in bed
With a wound to the head
Calling out to pretty Mary K
Here's what you get for things that haven't happened yet
I happened upon pretty Mary K
But a soldier's uniform waved you away
I walk round the dock and talk to St. James
Though I'm already done
And ask everyone "have you seen her?"
Pretty Mary K
Have you seen her?
Pretty Mary K
Started to say
Rode into the sun
Past everyone
Hallelujah, pretty Mary K
I found faith in the infirmary
There's a soldier lying in bed
With a wound to the head
Calling out to pretty Mary K
Here's what you get for things that haven't happened yet
I happened upon pretty Mary K
But a soldier's uniform waved you away
I walk round the dock and talk to St. James
Though I'm already done
And ask everyone "have you seen her?"
Pretty Mary K
Have you seen her?
Pretty Mary K

also i think the line is "somebody's not paying attention to what they promise"
totally agree this is about being in love with a prostitute. i also get that feeling like the characters really come alive in this song. everytime i hear it i get such vivid images happening. some of the lyrics are so abstract i wish i could deciefer them. ie. "gunna go down in the water, fill my mouth of full of sand" - sick of hearing his words? tired of speaking/trying? duno.
