Mercy Mercy (Live at the Warehouse, 3/12/88) The 77s

[Intro]
Yeah

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

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

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