When I was just seventeen I ran away from home
|
To be with all the pretty people
|
To be on my own
|
Bright lights and trains and bedsit stains
|
And pavements paved with gold
|
And I believed in everything that everybody told me
|
|
Have mercy
|
Have mercy on me
|
|
I found myself in a lonely place with a suitcase full of dreams
|
And I soon grew up to realise what living in the doghouse means
|
But everyday I told myself good things would happen soon
|
'cause I knew that I was going to be a legend in my living room
|
|
Have mercy
|
Have mercy on me
|
|
(Welcome to this perfect world)
|
|
Now everyday on a dead end street is where I spend my time
|
The dust has been collecting on the corners of my mind
|
But I've shed my tears in bitter drops until the thorn trees bloomed
|
To take the spiky fruit to crown myself the Queen of doom
|
|
Have mercy
|
Have mercy on me
|
