I wanna real love to let me in
I wanna zero out and be born again
No more false starts and no dead end

'Cause I'm no shape to do what's right
And I see up as down and black as white
It makes me dizzy, I come apart
All this love, love, love in the dark

Mercy, mercy, both hands
I need less drowning and more land
Mercy, mercy, understand
(Less drowning, more land, less drowning)

Lit a fire in the crowd just to watch you move
And tie your hands and demand a salute
Oh, this garden's full of snakes and fruit
Oh, oh no, no, no, no

Hear the click, click, click of the camera flash
And in the definite kicking of the fame bomb blast
But they don't call and they don't last
And you're gone, out-shined

Mercy, mercy, both hands
I need less drowning and more land
Mercy, mercy, understand
(Less drowning, more land, less drowning)

So come on, kill the lights and leave it all behind
I'm right by your, I'm right by your side
Well in the tick of time, put your hand in mine
Watch it all, watch it all ignite

Mercy, mercy, both hands
I need less drowning and more land
Mercy, mercy, understand
Less drowning, more land

Mercy, mercy, I'm in your hands
I look into your eyes and I see what I can
Mercy, mercy, understand

Less drowning, more land
Less drowning, more land
