The 77s
Mercy Mercy (Live at Cornerstone 2003)
[Intro]
1, 2, 1, 2, 3
[Verse 1]
I was wallowing
In a pit of snakes
They come crawling
Up around my legs
Now, I despise them
But I know
If they hypnotize me
Down, down I go
[Chorus 1]
Then I say, Lord
Have mercy on me
I say, Lord
Have mercy on me
[Verse 2]
Love to fly
In a purple haze
Believe lies
Just to save face
But when I crash
On solid ground
Then I go splat
My up comes down
[Chorus 2]
I say, Lord
(Hey, mercy)
Have mercy on me
(Hey, mercy)
I say, Lord
(Hey, mercy)
Have mercy
(Hey, mercy)
Complete
(Mercy, mercy)
Forgiving
(Mercy, mercy)
Chastening
(Mercy, mercy)
Embracing
(Mercy, mercy)
Well
[Verse 3]
Love to go far
On my guitar
Love when she sings
Love when she stings
But if I bow
Down to her notes
When
That's all she wrote
[Chorus 2]
Then I say, Lord
(Hey, mercy)
Have mercy on me
(Hey, mercy)
Say, Lord
(Hey, mercy)
Ma ma ma ma ma
(Hey, mercy)
Complete
(Mercy, mercy)
Embracing
(Mercy, mercy)
Chastening
(Mercy, mercy)
Embracing
(Mercy, mercy)
[Bridge]
I said hey
Hey
Ho
Ho
[Outro]
Hey
Mercy
Mercy
Mercy
Mercy
Mercy
Mercy
Mercy
Mercy
Yeah
[Spoken Outro]
