DESCRIPTION:
mercy
© 2014 tracy grammer

can't start, too scared
out of time and unprepared
could've jumped, you didn't dare
afraid to get it wrong

tongue tied, tripped again
nobody's gonna tell you when
or if it's right, or what you win
or how to sing your song

chicken child, all but broke
sing your worry, swallow smoke
swinging from a scarlet oak
it's ashes out to sea

bad love, hostile lines
something here to redefine
be forgiven for your crimes
now babe, just let it be

'cause it all unravels
it all falls down
big fat gavel, the judge is in your head
have mercy mercy mercy
mercy now


























bright flash, burning tower
shadows at the witching hour
all your secrets, all that power
the promises of rain

shot black shooting star
medicine's in mother's jar
freedom's in the buffet car
now get up on that train

'cause it all unravels
it all falls down
big fat gavel, the judges in your head
cry mercy mercy mercy
mercy now

right words fix the chain
hook yourself to this refrain
all in sorrow all in pain
know that you belong

'cause it all unravels
it all falls down
big fat gavel, the judge is in your head
have mercy, mercy, mercy, mercy now
