[Chorus]
At the mercy, at the mercy
At the mercy of a busy road
Who can handle such a heavy load?
At the mercy, at the mercy
At the mercy of a busy day
We can think of nothing more to say

[Verse 1]
If you show me love, I won't refuse
I know you'd never make me choose
Between the love I've got
And the love I'd lose
Sometimes, I'd rather run and hide
Than stay and face the fear inside

[Chorus]
At the mercy, at the mercy
At the mercy of a busy day
Who can bear to turn their head away?
At the mercy, at the mercy
At the mercy of a busy road
We can watch the universe explode

[Verse 2]
If you take me up, I won't say no
I guess you'd rather see me grow
Into a better man than the one you know
Sometimes, my head is hanging low
It's time to get on with the show
[Outro]
At the mercy, at the mercy
At the mercy of a busy day
I can think of nothing more to say
