In this part of the album, Steven watches a musical number sung by a girl named Mercy and falls in love with her. In the comic book, the Showman tells Steven he hated women until he met Mercy, who he had sex with. He is then told by Steven to “shut up”.
Don't touch your lips
Don't wear your hair like that
I feel your presence all around me
Don't get too close
Don't move your eyes like that
Because they're deep enough to drown me
It don't get hot like this in Heaven
(Please hide me in a holy place)
You fool me with your angel face
(Protect my soul I love each day)
Your master knows where I'm my weakest
Mercy please, I'm on my knees
You're my temptation
Measure my faith, the devil's awake
He knows you're my temptation
Don't call my name
Don't brush my cheek like that
I curse the day that I found you
Don't touch my skin
Don't dance around like that
I feel damnation all around you
And so I raise my voice to Heaven
(You fool me with your angel face)
Please hide me in some holy place
(Your master knows when I'm awake)
Protect my soul, I'm only human
Mercy please, I'm on my knees
You're my temptation
Look down and see, deliver me
From my dark sensation
Give me faith, don't let me waste
You're my temptation
Come to me
You're such a liar
Won't you come to me
Move closer to the fire
Just come to me
No, no, no
Won't you come to me
And I will set you free
No, no, no, no!
Mercy please, I'm on my knees
You're my temptation
Measure my faith, the devil's awake
He knows you're my temptation
Mercy please, I'm on my knees
You're my temptation
Go away in Heaven's name
You're my temptation
Go away, just go away
My dark sensation
