Mercy

Have mercy on me
I cannot be saved
Have mercy on me
I’ve forgotten my own name
Have mercy on me
Well I’m ten-feet in and I’m up against a wall
They’re paving the way
But I believe I’m half grown
Have mercy on me
You called me last night from the L. A airport
I’ve never been able to say that before
But it’s nice, yes it’s nice to be loved
I’m leaving the city of oh-slow decline
People get stuck here, stuck in their minds
Have mercy on me
Have mercy on me I’m just trying to make a buck
People see me on the street they wanna wish me good luck
Oh it’s nice, yes it’s nice to be alone
Put your best foot forward, learn to talk a certain way
You’ll be doing this forever, damned if I say
Have mercy on me
