Mercy Street - Sugarplum Fairies

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

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
