Black Maria
 

Written & Sung: T. Rundgren; Backup Vocal: S. Nicks
 

Black Maria, you scare me so
I feel as though
My heart stopped dead
You're a liar, this I know
I watch you go
Around my head

Ooh, I'm going down slow
You scare me so
Ooh, you never let go
You scare me so

Gay deceiver, my eyes, they burned
My insides turned
My brain, it rolled
Unbeliever, but now I've learned
I took my turn
I come up cold

Ooh, I'm going down slow
You scare me so
Ooh, you never let go
You scare me so

If you must kill me, please let me die!

Ooh...
 Black Maria, you scare me so
I feel as though
My heart stopped dead
You're a liar, this I know
I watch you go
Around my head

Ooh, I'm going down slow
You scare me so
Ooh, you never let go
You scare me so

If you must kill me, please let me die!

 

WEBMISTRESS speculates:

I think this is Todd Rundgren's most interesting song. I like the chorus a lot, and the lyrics are cool. I've been told Stevie's there in the background somewhere on this live album!
