Lyrics
At the mercy, at the mercy At the mercy of a busy road Who can handle such a heavy load? At the mercy, at the mercy At the mercy of a busy day We can think of nothing more to say If you show me love, I won't refuse I know you'd never make me choose Between the love I've got and the love I'd lose Sometimes I'd rather run and hide Then stay and face the fear inside At the mercy, at the mercy At the mercy of a busy day Who can bear to turn their head away? At the mercy, at the mercy At the mercy of a busy road We can watch the universe explode If you take me up, I won't say no I guess you'd rather see me grow Into a better man than the one you know Sometimes my head is hanging low It's time to get on with the show At the mercy, at the mercy At the mercy of a busy day I can think of nothing more to say
