lyrics

Mercy, where’s your love
It seems that every answer’s
Loaded in a gun
And I’m not satisfied to
Go to sleep quite yet

Mercy, you’ve been shot down
And in your wake
You seemed to throw away
Those ticket stubs we saved
To remind us of those theatre days

It’s all been said before
I’ll try to keep this short
Forgetting words like ma’am and sir and
God
If I say you’re deadly,
It’s meant as a compliment
A compliment of the first
Degree

A train to California or
A plane to Albany
A grey hound bus to
To anywhere, that we can
Get for free

Dad will sit at home
With a towel rapped
Around his waist
Waiting by the telephone
To hear you’ve made it safe

It’s all been said before
I’ll try to keep this short
Forgetting words like ma’am and sir and
God
If I say you’re deadly,
It’s meant as a compliment
A compliment of the first
Degree

The shower smells of
Cinnamon
This bed is much too firm
The neighbors have a tape machine
Recording heads we’ve turned, on the

Balconies, smoke
Cigarettes
Inside we smoke them too
It’s not because we like them, no, but
Now we can be fools

It’s all been said before
I’ll try to keep this short
Forgetting words like ma’am and sir and
God
If I say you’re deadly,
It’s meant as a compliment
A compliment of the first
Degree
