Mercy Street Lyrics
I hear your shoes sigh on the floor
you’re drunk on rum poached agony
love’s a sheet with cigarette burns
countless lessons never learned
I pour my thoughts in a coffee cup, yeah
then I watch my fame go down the drain
I sit back and I put up my feet, yeah
while you’re still searching for Mercy Street
box me in a jeweled bin
in the backyard of your heart
never know what you will gain
chocolate stains or stomach pain
I found Jesus in a coffee cup, yeah
but now my fame goes down the drain
I sit back and I put up my feet, yeah
while you’re still searching for Mercy Street
you read Hesse and I think wine
hope you have a real good time
and you say that you have tried
trashy smiles and cardboard lies
I hear your shoes sigh on the floor
you’re drunk on rum poached agony
love’s a sheet with cigarette burns
countless lessons never learned
you’re drunk on rum poached agony
love’s a sheet with cigarette burns
countless lessons never learned
then I watch my fame go down the drain
I sit back and I put up my feet, yeah
while you’re still searching for Mercy Street
in the backyard of your heart
never know what you will gain
chocolate stains or stomach pain
but now my fame goes down the drain
I sit back and I put up my feet, yeah
while you’re still searching for Mercy Street
hope you have a real good time
and you say that you have tried
trashy smiles and cardboard lies
you’re drunk on rum poached agony
love’s a sheet with cigarette burns
countless lessons never learned
