Mercy Lives Here

An empty street in Ohio
Lookin' to kill some time
We stumbled into Cairo
Egypt must be divine
And the jukebox plays
While a little clown sways
Hey it's two songs for a dime

Mercy lives here
Oh mercy lives here
At home with the saints and the sinners
Mercy lives here

A girl in the corner is crying
The silver haired lady's alone
And the queen of the boulevard's trying
To hustle somebody home
The smokin' man shakes
While the broken girl aches
And the clown starts to sing his song

He sings mercy lives here
Oh Mercy lives here
At home with the saints and the sinners
Mercy lives here

Mercy, oh mercy
Mercy, oh mercy

And the clown at the bar
Laughs and lights a cigar
And we all start to sing along

And I know that mercy lives here...
