Mercy - Nick Cave
I hear everyone
I stood in the water
In the middle month of winter
My camel skin was torture
I was in a state of nature
The wind sir it was wicked
And I was so alone
Oh just as I predicted
My followers were gone
And I cried mercy
Have mercy on me
And I draw down on my knees
Thrown into a dungeon
Bread and water was my portion
Faith my only weapon
To rest the devil's legion
The speak hole would slide open
A viper's voice would plead
Thick with innuendo
And syphilis and greed
And she cried mercy
Have mercy on me
And I told her to get down on her knees
And she cried mercy
Have mercy on me
I told her to get down on her knees
In a garden full of roses
My hands tied behind me
My cousin was working miracles
I wondered if he'd find me
The moon was turned toward me
Well like a platter made of gold
My death it almost bored me
So often was it told
I cried mercy
Have mercy on me
And I to get down on her knees
They cried mercy
Have mercy mercy
And I push down to my knees
Oh thank you
