Oh one night of mercy
|
Give me one night of merciful
|
Shocks to the skull
|
Watching these specimens grow
|
|
Small miracles stuffed
|
In old powder kegs
|
Can't mix boot leather
|
With common-sense rags
|
Watching these specimens grow
|
|
I may know nothing
|
But it never says no
|
Won't answer in good turn
|
Earth rumbling below
|
Got hope in the backseat
|
And truth on the roof
|
Look out below
|
This rumbling needs somewhere to go
|
|
All cut up and painless
|
Brake lights blown out
|
On the back of your skull
|
Watching these specimens grow
|
|
O misery's daughter
|
Please know when to quit
|
Not a hose for the fire
|
There's a snake in the pit
|
Watching these specimens grow
|
|
I may know nothing
|
But it never says no
|
Won't answer in good turn
|
Earth rumbling below
|
Got hope in the backseat
|
And truth on the roof
|
Look out below
|
This rumbling needs somewhere to go
|
|
One night of mercy
|
Give me one night so merciful
|
One night of mercy
|
