I was wallowing
| In a pit of snakes
| They come crawling
| Up around my legs
| Now I despise
| Them but I know
| If they hypnotize me
| Down down I go
|
| Then I say Lord
| Have mercy on me
| I say Lord
| Have mercy
|
| Love to fly
| In a purple haze
| Believe lies
| Just to stay faced
| But when I crash
| On solid ground
| Then I go spat!!
| And my up comes down
|
| Then I say Lord
| Have mercy on me
| I say Lord
| Have mercy
| Complete
| Forgiving
| Chastening
| Embracing
|
| Love to go far
| On my guitar
| Love when she sings
| Love when she stings
| But if I bow
| Down to her notes
| When death comes 'round
| That's all she wrote
|
| Then I say Lord
| Have mercy on me
| I say Lord
| Have mercy
| Complete
| Forgiving
| Chastening
| Embracing
| Unearned
| Undeserved
| A total work
