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
