Mercy Lyrics by Anthony D’Amato

Paper Back Bones

2012

Mercy on the man alone on a night like this
Mercy on the man alone on a night like this
Mercy on the man alone on a night like this
Had it all and lost it in the contents of a kiss
And mercy on that fighter, don't know when he's lived
Mercy on that fighter, don't know when he's lived
Mercy on that fighter, don't know when he's lived
Even when a taste of blood's a-tricklin' down his lip
I feel I've never cared for what the Bible tells
I've had hard times here on Earth, can't be much worse down there in Hell
So mercy on the man who's got a heart that won't believe
Mercy on the man who's livin' anything like me
Mercy on that beggar scrapin' on his knees
Mercy on that beggar scrapin' on his knees
Mercy on that beggar scrapin' on his knees
Everybody looks, but, Lord, there ain't nobody sees
And mercy on them vultures circlin' overhead
Mercy on them vultures circlin' overhead
Mercy on them vulture birds circlin' overhead
There ain't nobody dyin' leavin' no one gettin' fed
I feel I've never cared for what the Bible tells
I've had hard times here on Earth, can't be much worse down there in Hell
So mercy on the man who's got a heart that won't believe
Mercy on the man who's livin' anything like me
Mercy on the savior nailed upon that cross
Mercy on the savior nailed upon that cross
Mercy on the savior nailed upon that cross
He knows that once he's up there he ain't never gettin' off
