Mercy Street Songtext
von Security Project

Looking down on empty streets, all she can see
Are the dreams all made solid and the dreams all made real
All of the buildings, all of the cars
Were once just a dream in somebody′s head
She pictures the broken glass, pictures the steam
She pictures a soul, with no leak at the seams

Let's take the boat out, wait until darkness
Let′s take the boat out, wait until darkness comes

Nowhere the corridors, pale green and grey
Nowhere the suburbs in the cold light of day
There in the midst of it, so live and alone
Water board like bone


Dreaming of Mercy Street
Wire inside out
Dreaming of Mercy
In your daddy's arms again
Dreaming of Mercy Street
I swear they moved that sign
Looking for Mercy
In your daddy's arms

Pulling out the papers from drawers that slide smooth
Tugging at the darkness, word upon word
Placing all the sacred things in a warm velvet box
To the priest, he′s a doctor, he can handle the shocks

Dreaming of the tenderness, trembling the hips
Kissing Mary′s lips

Dreaming of Mercy Street
Wire inside out
Dreaming of Mercy
In your daddy's arms again
Dreaming of Mercy Street
I swear they moved that sign
Looking for Mercy
In your daddy′s arms

Mercy, looking for Mercy
Mercy, looking for Mercy
Mercy, looking for Mercy

Out with the father, he's out in the boat
Riding the water, riding the waves on the sea
