Mercy Street Letra

countless lessons never learned

I pour my thoughts in a coffee cup, yeah
then I watch my fame go down the drain
I sit back and I put up my feet, yeah
while you're still searching for Mercy Street

box me in a jeweled bin
in the backyard of your heart
never know what you will gain
chocolate stains or stomach pain

I found Jesus in a coffee cup, yeah
but now my fame goes down the drain
I sit back and I put up my feet, yeah
while you're still searching for Mercy Street

you read Hesse and I think wine
hope you have a real good time
and you say that you have tried
trashy smiles and cardboard lies

I hear your shoes sigh on the floor
you're drunk on rum poached agony
love's a sheet with cigarette burns
countless lessons never learned
