[Verse 1]
Looking down on empty streets, all she can see
Are the dreams all made solid
Are the dreams made real
All of the buildings, all of the cars
Were once just a dream
In somebody's head
She pictures the broken glass, pictures the steam
She pictures a soul
With no leak at the seams
Wait until darkness
Let's take the boat out
Wait until darkness comes

[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
Nowhere in the corridors of pale green and grey
Nowhere in the suburbs
In the cold light of day
There in the midst of it, so alive and alone
Words support like bone

[Chorus]
Dreaming of Mercy Street
Wear your inside out
Dreaming of mercy
In your daddy's arms again
Dreaming of Mercy Street
I swear they moved that sign
Dreaming of mercy
In your daddy's arms
[Outro]
Mercy
Mercy
Oh
Looking for mercy
Oh
Oh
Oh
Oh
Oh
Oh
Oh
