Karaoké Mercy Street Peter Gabriel

Looking down on empty streets all she can see are the dreams all made solid are the dreams made real

All of the buildings all of those 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 seam

Wait until darkness

Wait until darkness comes

Nowhere in the corridors of pale green and grey

Nowhere in the suburbs in the cold light of day

There in the midst of it so alive and alone words support like bone

Dreaming of Mercy Street wear your inside out

Dreaming of mercy in your daddy's arms again

Dreaming of Mercy Street swear they moved that sign

Dreaming of mercy in your daddy's arms

Pulling out the papers from the drawers that slide smooth

Tugging at the darkness word upon word

Confessing all the secret things in the warm velvet box

To the priest he's the doctor he can handle the shocks

Dreaming of the tenderness the tremble in the hips of kissing Mary's lips

Dreaming of Mercy Street wear your inside out

Dreaming of mercy in your daddy's arms again

Dreaming of Mercy Street swear they moved that sign

Looking for mercy in your daddy's arms

Mercy mercy looking for mercy

Looking for mercy

Looking for mercy

Looking for mercy

Looking for mercy

The law of mercy

Looking for mercy
