Incredible String Band - Mercy I Cry City lyrics

Since you got me here I see you're trying to steal my soul Your army's trying so very hard To find for me a goal But where's your quiet pastures Where there's time for me to be Nothing else but what I am That's what you seem scared to see You cover up your emptiness With brick and noise and rush Oh, I can see and touch you But you don't owe reality much Have mercy I cry city, you're all upon my mind And sometimes I think you keep forgettin' That you don't know me Mercy I cry city, you're all upon my mind Oh, send another carriage Chugging down your chokey tube I hope it makes you happy 'Cause it don't do my health much good You're slowly k**ing fumes Now squeeze the lemon in my head Make me know just what it's like For a sin drenched Christian to be dead Ah, show to me your glitter And your flashing neon light You see, I think that only the sun knows How to be quietly bright Have mercy I cry city, you're all upon my mind That sometimes I think you keep forgettin' That you don't know me Mercy I cry city, you're all upon my mind Oh city, what you been doin'? All these years, what you been doin'? Who would believe that what you been doin' Would make such a ruin of you? Hey city, what you been doin'? All these years, what you been doin'? Who would believe that what you been doin' Would make such a ruin of you? Tell me city
