Since you got me here I see you're trying to steal my soul Your army's trying so very hard To find for me a goal

You're 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 to 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 That sometimes I think you keep forgettin' That you don't know me Mercy I cry city, you're all upon my mind
