Mercenary Lyrics - Panic! At The Disco

Just a dime store poet 

Keeping pace, talking his face blue 

Two dollar store tramps 

To get a glance, a new chance at you 

Walk past the dance floor 

That's always been a dear friend of mine 

Cuckolds and concubines 

Dancing in four, four time 

"Hey mister!" the bellman says 

"I can only recall and spend some time," I said 

So he replies, "Then how do you manage?" 

I dodge the blast, and apologize for collateral damage

In love, I've always been a mercenary, but I never leave my post when the cash runs out 

I want to make you quiver 

Make your backbone shiver 

Hey kid, take the stage and deliver 

"Hey mister!" the bellman says 

"I can only recall and spend some time," I said 

So he replies, "Then how do you manage?" 

I dodge the blast, and apologize for collateral damage 

"How does it feel to stand on the very stones that ran with your parent's blood 

Do you feel sad? Full of rage? Or does that outfit help you bury your feelings 

Hiding your true self 

You're truly an extraordinary specimen, I look forward to breaking you" 

I dodge the blast, and apologize for collateral damage 

"Hey mister!" the bellman says 

"I can only recall and spend some time," I said 

So he replies, "Then how do you manage?" 

I dodge the blast, and apologize for collateral damage
