8 o'clock in the morning
I got an aching head
I've been sleeping too long
In this broken bed
What can I do to excite you?
What can I do to lie still?
When my whole body chills
Running empty on good will
If mercy was a drug on the street
I'd buy me a dozen pills to get some relief
If mercy was a drug on the street
I'd buy me a little fix to get some sleep
It's time to kick this high babe
It must a better way
I'm gonna go cold turkey
That's the price I'll pay
Somebody better lock me in
And throw away the key
It's time for us to split the shield
Cause you're no good for me
If mercy was a drug on the street
I'd buy me a dozen pills to get some relief
If mercy was a drug on the street
I'd buy me a little fix to get some sleep
If mercy was a drug on the street
I'd buy me a dozen pills to get some relief
If mercy was a drug on the street
I'd buy me a little fix to get some sleep
