Mercy Mercy The 77s

[Verse 1]
I was wallowing
In a pit of snakes
They come crawling
Up around my legs
Now, I despise them
But I know
If they hypnotize me
Down, down I go

[Chorus 1]
Then I say, Lord
Have mercy on me
I say, Lord
Have mercy

[Verse 2]
Love to fly
In a purple haze
Believe lies
Just to save face
But when I crash
On solid ground
Then I go splat
And my up comes down
