The 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 Sometimes I think you keep forgetting that you don't know me Mercy I cry city you're all upon my mind Send another carriage chugging down your chokey tube I hope it makes you happy 'cause it don't do my health much good You 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 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 Sometimes I think you keep forgetting that you don't know me Mercy I cry city you're all upon my mind Hey, city, what you been doing? All these years what you been doing? Who would believe that what you been doing Would make such a ruin of you?
