Mercy Lyrics - After The Flood - Clumsy Lovers

Mercy (Chris Jonat) 

All the children met 

In day cares and nightclubs 

Discussed finger paints and body rubs 

They embraced it all 

It hasn't happened yet 

But pretty soon they will fall flat 

Alcohol will take the edge off that 

Ease the pain if not the fall 

You gotta take off your hat, force a bow 

Wipe that sweat right off your brow 

Look her in the eye and try for mercy 

And so the story grows 

I got kind of wired and 

I drove the snakes from Ireland 

And then I broke for lunch 

If you want a small nose 

Give honesty a try 

But if you gotta lie 

You may as well lie a bunch 

Hello, how are you? I like you plenty well 

If you get bored here, there's always the hotel 

We can order in, and turn off the ringer 

And you can have your pick, the song or the singer
