Mary Prankster was most definitely a band to see live. Typically at Baltimore and Washington D.C. shows (gigs close to Mary's hometown), the entire audience would be comprised of Mary fans, singing along to every song. Especially on songs like "Mercyfuck," "The World is Full of Bastards," and "Blue Skies Over Dundalk," it was hard to hear the vocals from Ms. Mary Prankster over the roar of the crowd. Performance only songs, such as "Art Fag Bastard" were also what made Mary performances truly special.

Mary Prankster Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And kick the tires of your mind
Trace the laces to the places
And embrace them as they subtly unwind
Sid my Vicious, you're delicious
Stars and garters — do my dishes
Pass me the bottle and I'll coddle
I wanna take a trip
To your cerebral petting zoo
I know there ain't no cages
Just the pages of the ages that is you
I can't recant, you're too enchanting
Raise my rent and rave my ranting
I'll creep behind the keeper
As he sleeps beside the zebras of your mind
I wanna tie one on
In the nightclub of your mind
Travel down underground and buy a round
For any clown that I can find
Truth be told, you're good as gold
Hot patootie — bless my soul
I'll order up a porter and a quarter
For the jukebox of your mind
