Mercy - CocoRosie

Who’s the next batter up?

Cat scratch the duck

Feathers will fly, good luck for passer by

Short ran yours, dream ends here

Over game, crying in the mirror

A melted face winks back

Made of drippin' candle wax, candelabra

You’re trying not to slobber

You’re sobbing on the inside like a broken ballerina

Voices of demons and laughing hyena

Dog pile gang bang, devil jump you in for life

Doing time in the hole, your black soul recites

Soliloquies of bible rhymes

Kids, cover your ears, cover your eyes

Daddy’s telling lies yeah, he deceived you

With all that hoodoovoodoo, he deceived you

Oh your begging, your begging

Your begging, your begging

You’ll be begging for mercy

You’ll be begging for mercy

You’ll be begging, begging, begging

All that hoodoovoodoo…

Shady shaman in the grass

Studying UFO’s, seducing the you know who

Unicorn, still born, under this sun

Another world you tried to show us

Through tobacco stained sermons

Smoke and haze

Horror show back in the days

Back in the days

You, lock up your wife, duck-tape and a butcher knife

Kids, cover your eyes, cover your ears

X-rated horror flick make me sick, I do poetry

You’re full of tricks, classic craft witches black

We race potato sacks, paddy cake, our daddy’s wack

Wicked, butterfly guts, this guy is nuts

Traumatized by criminal eyes, mad doggin' paedophiles

Even evil has a code, fork in the road

You took the wrong turn every time

Swagger like your soul’s divine

Begging for mercy

Begging for mercy

I’ll get you on your knees

Begging for mercy

Begging for mercy

I’ll put you on your knees

You’ll be begging for mercy

Begging for mercy

I’ll get you on your knees

Begging for mercy

Begging for mercy

I’ll put you on your knees

You’ll be begging for mercy

Begging for mercy

I’ll put you on your knees

Begging for mercy

Begging for mercy

I’ll put you on your knees
