The Mercy Wheel

Ain't no one in line
I take out my heart
And then I fire it from a cannon
With such a sound over the hills and
Every trouble is abandoned

Into the mercy wheel
See it spinning in the twilight
Tell me how do you feel
Like a hard blow in a bar fight

And its a Mississippi night
With the heavens wheeling bright

(instrumental break)

A golden ring, a halo for you every
Time you find you're crying

Hear the demons sing
As you place your head in the mouth of a lion

Into the mercy wheel
See it spinning in the twilight
Tell me how do you feel
Like a hard blow in a bar fight

And its a Mississippi night
With the heavens wheeling bright
And I don't hold on so tight
