Lyrics: Joseph Arthur. Big City Secret. Marina.


Marina coming off of methadone
Kickin and dreamin
And she's sleeping and screaming
Watching 90210
She'll be yelling at the screen
Until the late night show

I don't believe I'm alive she said
Everyday has something new
Aw baby with the moon I lie
And with the sun I will rise

It's all there in her eyes
You don't know how hard I try
Each time that Marina cries
It's like she's got no disguise

Marina is a human bicycle
She's riding in the park
Riding after dark
Spinning her wheels to make a psark
Hoping to change her blame into a plague

She plays guitar
She dreams and sings
She writes a song about what it means
That she never feels
Much like a human being
