Life has been tough recently Feels like your heartbeat's in retreat You try to break the curse But it only makes it worse You look to the skies and you cry Somebody have mercy on me Somebody have mercy on me I'm lost, I can't see Somebody have mercy on me (Who you are is who you are) (Who you are is who you are) (Who you are is who you are) (Who you are is who you are) You go to the priest and he turns you away You go to the doctor and he tells you to pray Is this a dream of the world at its worst? You step outside and you cry Somebody have mercy on me, ooh Somebody have mercy on me I'm lost, I can't see Somebody have mercy on me, ooh Somebody have mercy on me Straight up to dinner And you're on the phone again Waiting for the car to pull up outside Inside your head There is a strange voice singing You feel as if it's been there all your life But you hear it for the first time tonight Somebody have mercy on me, ooh Somebody have mercy on me Yeah, I'm lost, I can't see Somebody have mercy on me, ooh You go to the priest but he turns you away You say - Somebody have mercy on me Yeah and you go to the doctor but he Tells you to pray, you say Somebody have mercy on me Ooooh Somebody have mercy on me
