Intro :
W hen I was just seventeen I ran away from home
T o be with all the pretty people to be on my own
B right lights and trains and bedsit stains pavements paved with gol d
A nd I believed in everything that everybody told me
Have mercy. Have mercy on me
I found myself in a lonely place with a suitcase ful l of dreams
A nd I soon grew up to realise what living in the doghouse means
B ut everyday I told myself good things would happen s oon
'cause I knew t hat I was going to be a legend in my living ro om
Have mercy . Ha ve m ercy on m e. Have merc y.
H ave merc y on me
welcome to this perfect world
N ow every day on a dead-end street is where I spend my time
T he dust has been collecting on the corners of my mind
B ut I've shed my tears in bitter drops until the thorn tree s bloomed
T o take the spiky fruit to crown myself the King of Doom
H ave m ercy. H ave merc y on me
H ave m ercy. Oh Oh children have mer cy on m e
Have mer cy. Listen to me people have mercy on
