Mercy Missions

You knew I'd make the drive
To pick the pieces up
You were feeling so low down
I couldn't get there fast enough

You said you were out of control
You closed your eyes just to watch them roll
you said you were surrounded by yourself
you had had surrendered you were saved by the bell

Mercy missions in the grey zone
Stealing someone's heart
Mercy mission, the psychic grief patrol
Always hear the saddest part
On mercy missions
Mercy missions get no relief

I got the pitch morning call
To pul you out out out
You slipped into that slump
And tried to fill it with doubt

I suggested and you resented
You had an open wound
You thought it took real nerve
For me to treat it like a bruise

Now residing in the swamps of Virginia, Smith performs club gigs and
