Lyrics:
Lovely Mary Sweeney, the famous window smasher Was just a quiet school marm from Lacrosse, Wisconsin She took a pinch of cocaine but only for her nerves Laudanum for trembling hands, a little bottle in her purse She was a woodpecker, she couldn’t help but see All the things that hide inside all the pretty trees At dusk she took a train, just a hammer in her bag She went from town to town, smashing every pane of glass Storefronts, mirrors, windshields shattered in the night A hammer through a window’s gleam filled the air with light She was a woodpecker, she couldn’t help but free All the things that hide inside all the pretty trees In the state asylum, the windows caged in bars They soaked her in an ice-cold bath till she was seeing stars Wrapped up in her straitjacket her mind still hammered on Till the glass inside her smashed and she flew off into the trees She was a woodpecker, she couldn’t help but see All the things that hide inside all the pretty trees
