Out Of It's Misery Lyrics - Michael Penn

That's the way it goes 

you're going to have to 

see it through eventually 

listen, I propose that 

everybody show 

some sort of sympathy 

'cause all the highs and lows 

are really wearing out 

its elasticity 

there's no bouncing back 

no recovery 

put it out of its misery 

If you take my devotion 

and figure it as something 

you're due to accrue 

it's only emotion 

winding up the motion 

we are going through 

and don't it break your heart 

to watch its little quiver 

on the avenue 

'til it's crawling back 

on its only knee 

put it out of its misery 

I can hear mercy mercy me 

letting this go on and on and on 

endlessly
