The Deborah Harry song catalog you find on this page was compiled by me, the webmaster, with the help of my personal record collection, booklets, biographies, setlists, ASCAP, the LoC (Library of Congress), articles and (live) bootlegs. It's my goal to create a page which features Deborah's complete musical body of work, no matter if Deborah was in any way musically involved herself or whether she contributed her own lyrics to a project. In order to keep up the standard of this page and to make it grow you can help by submitting song titles and/or information which are missing on this site. Every contribution is greatly appreciated. Official song lyrics were taken from booklets. I transcribed those songs myself where no official lyrics were available (with no guarantee for their accuracy). I apologize for possible errors and will gladly take corrections. I kindly ask you not to copy any of these lyrics from this page.
All song pages include links to the albums, singles and/or live albums which they were released on. Best Ofs and soundtracks were only listed if there is a special mix available on the record or the song title itself was previously unreleased.

WAITING FOR MARY

Welcome to Mars
It's open all hours
What are we doing here?
Bill's in the back and Fred's on the phone saying "What are we doing here?"

Oh, he was saying that you are never alone in the twilight zone
What are we doing here

Waiting for Mary

I oughta know but my memory is going
I'm down on my knees
I'm beggin you please
Don't mind the stares we've paid for these chairs
And keep up that smile
It might be awhile

What are we doing here?

Waiting for Mary
Oh
Oh, I wonder why
She can't be
On time
Ever

What do you know, it had to be snowing
I'm down on my knees
I'm beggin you please
Oh, what do you see?
Why, it had to be me saying
What?
What are we doing here?
Now, one at a time or all in a line
Say it

Waiting for Mary
Waiting for Mary
Waiting for Mary
