Lord Have Mercy |
| I caught a glimpse of your body by the river |
| I was alone and the sky went forever |
| I was the one that killed your father in the first world war |
| I once vowed to love your sister for a lifetime |
| Took her to the altar and left her like a wind chime |
| That was the dawning of the age of the cannibal world |
| Lord have mercy on my soul, have mercy Lord |
| Mama, have mercy on my soul |
| I took your wild peacocks down to the sawmill |
| And ground their bones into dust and blood meal |
| A rainbow of feathers and shame fell upon my wicked hand |
| Lucy, my love, get inside my Grand Torino |
| I tell you little girl don’t go into the jungle |
| There’s a million hungry insects there |
| And man, they’re going to eat you alive, yes, they will |
| Lord have mercy on my soul, have mercy Lord |
| Mama, have mercy on my soul |
| Cold dead moon don’t stare at me |
| With your bony judgmental eye |
| Only the peacocks and earthly things |
| Can judge me as they pass by |
| Can judge me as they pass through this world |
| Judge me as they pass by |
| Lord, he has my number under the thunder in his hand |
