Mercy

by Nick Cave

lyricscopy.com
I stood in the water
In the middle month of winter
My camel skin was torture
I was in a state of nature
The wind, sir, it was wicked
I was so alone
Just as I predicted
My followers were gone

And I cried ´Mercy´
Have mercy upon me
And I got down on my knees

Thrown into a dungeon
Bread and water was my portion
Faith - my only weapon
To rest the devil´s legion
The speak-hole would slide open
A viper´s voice would plead
Thick with innuendo
Syphilis and Greed

And she cried ´Mercy´
Have mercy upon me
And I told her to get down on her knees

In a garden full of roses
My hands, tied behind me
My cousin was working miracles
I wondered if he´d find me
The moon was turned toward me
Like a platter made of gold
My death, it almost bored me
So often was it told

And I cried ´Mercy´
I cried mercy on me
Cryind ´Mercy´
Have mercy on me
