Oh Mercy

Please, please invite me to your party
Because I was alone so much when I was young
I'm a good guest, I can say almost nothing
And I can almost like almost anyone

And I haven't talked to anyone in days
But look, I brought all this imported beer
And it's far too easy to be alone
It's far too easy to disappear

Oh mercy, oh mercy, you're a sight for my sore eyes
You know I just want to believe, honey, the road will rise

And I got party talk for all your party guests
My topic includes fascism and rising crime
And when I outline the coming doom of the USA
Well, that'll ensure everyone's good time

I'll turn the talk as bright as falling leaves
Yeah, like it's a good time even though it's rotten
And I'll lead a drunken “cheers” to the brave pioneers
Who give all they have and are forgotten

Oh mercy, oh mercy, I'm tired of goodbyes
I just wanna believe, honey, the road will rise

I swear they'll love the four dirty jokes I know
I swear I'll hit the kitchen like dynamite
I'll even clean up the mess when I smash my glass
I'm lost, I'm lost but it's all right

Oh mercy, oh mercy, don't look in my sore eyes
I just want to believe, honey, the road will rise

Who, who, who am I?
Oh, who, who, who am I?
I'm a ghost drifting by
I'm a ghost drifting by

Yeah, who, who, who am I?
Oh, who, who, who am I?
I'm a ghost drifting by
I'm a ghost drifting by
