When I was just seventeen I ran away from home
To be with all the pretty people
To be on my own
Bright lights and trains and bedsit stains
And pavements paved with gold
And I believed in everything that everybody told me
Have mercy
Have mercy upon me
I found myself in a lonely place with a suitcase full of dreams
and I soon grew up to realise what living in the doghouse means
But everyday I told myself good things would happen soon
´Cause I knew that I was going to be a legend in my living room
Have mercy
Have mercy upon me
(Welcome to this perfect world)
Now everyday on a dead end street is where I spend my time
The dust has been collecting on the corners of my mind
But I´ve shed my tears in bitter drops until the thorn trees bloomed
To take the spiky fruit to crown myself the Queen of doom
Have mercy
Have mercy upon me
