The Incredible String Band - Mercy I Cry City lyrics

rate me

Since you got me here I see you're trying to steal my soul

You're army's trying so very hard to find for me a goal

But where's your quiet pastures where there's time for me to be

Nothing else but what I am that's what you seem scared to see

You cover up your emptiness with brick and noise and rush

Oh I can see and touch you but you don't owe reality much

Have mercy I cry city you're all upon my mind

Sometimes I think you keep forgetting that you don't know me

Mercy I cry city you're all upon my mind

Send another carriage chugging down your chokey tube

I hope it makes you happy 'cause it don't do my health much good

You slowly killing fumes now squeeze the lemon in my head

Make me know just what it's like for a sin drenched christian to be dead

Ah show me your glitter and your flashing neon light

You see I think that only the sun knows how to be quietly bright

Have mercy I cry city you're all upon my mind

Sometimes I think you keep forgetting that you don't know me

Mercy I cry city you're all upon my mind

Hey, city, what you been doing?

All these years what you been doing?

Who would believe that what you been doing

Would make such a ruin of you?
