Mercy Songtext
von CocoRosie

Who′s the next batter up? Cat scratch the duck
Feathers will fly, good luck for passer-by
Short ran yours, dream ends here
Over game, crying in the mirror
A melted face winks back
Made of drippin' candle wax, candelabra
You′re trying not to slobber
You're sobbing on the inside like a broken ballerina
Voices of demons and laughing hyena

Dog pile gang bang, devil jump you in for life
Doing time in the hole, your black soul recites
Soliloquies of bible rhymes
Kids, cover your ears, cover your eyes
Daddy's telling lies, yeah, he deceived you
With all that hoodoo voodoo
He deceived you


Oh, you′re begging, you′re begging
You're begging, you′re begging
You'll be begging for mercy
You′ll be begging for mercy
You'll be begging, begging, begging
All that hoodoo voodoo

Shady shaman in the grass
Studying UFO′s, seducing the you-know-who
Unicorn, still born, under this sun
Another world you tried to show us
Through tobacco stained sermons
Smoke and haze
Horror show back in the days
Back in the days

You lock up your wife, duck-tape and a butcher knife
Kids, cover your eyes, cover your ears
X-rated horror flick make me sick, I do poetry
You're full of tricks, classic craft witches black
We race potato sacks, paddy cake, our daddy's wack
Wicked, butterfly guts, this guy is nuts
Traumatized by criminal eyes, mad doggin′ pedophiles
Even evil has a code, fork in the road
You took the wrong turn every time
Swagger like your soul′s divine


Begging for mercy
Begging for mercy
I'll get you on your knees
Begging for mercy
Begging for mercy
I′ll put you on your knees

You'll be begging for mercy
Begging for mercy
I′ll get you on your knees
Begging for mercy
Begging for mercy
I'll put you on your knees

You′ll be begging for mercy
Begging for mercy
I'll put you on your knees
You'll be begging for mercy
Begging for mercy
I′ll put you on your knees
