Grace

Screaming at the newsman
Telling him to take it back
I’ll sue him if he won’t retract
Crying to the hangman
Begging him to render slack
If I could, I would go back
Will you extend me
Will you extend me grace?
Just a little grace
Will you extend me
Will you extend me grace?
Just a little grace
Were you talking to the shrubbery?
Did you cut the roses down?
Someone oughta till that ground
You thought I had a pure heart, well
I thought you were an angel, girl
Mercy is the silver pearl
Will you extend me
Will you extend me grace?
Just a little grace
Will you extend me
Will you extend me grace?
Just a little grace
My mother deems me ever dear
I’m less a liar than sincere
When you cut me in the alleyway
You don’t have to turn that knife
I’ll suffer in the afterlife
Praying to the Father
Sorry, did I grieve the Ghost?
You’re the one I love the most
Will you extend me
Will you extend me grace?
Just a little grace
Will you extend me
Will you extend me grace?
Just a little grace
You gotta give me
You gotta give me grace
Just a little grace
Will you extend me
Will you extend me grace?
Just a little grace
My mother deems me ever dear
