Mercy Is Asleep At the Wheel

[Verse 1]
Suburbs in search of a city
Did you ever get there?
‘Cause I waited for you
I gave you three trains
Did you ever get on?
Or are you still getting off on turning the screw?

[Chorus]
Mercy is asleep at the wheel
The rest of us are just hanging on
Mercy is asleep at the wheel
Crashing through common sense
Colliding with the past
When will you come around?
Mercy is asleep at the wheel

[Verse 2]
Cities in search of a heart
No one ever found one
And it’s tearing us all apart
Is your conscience still waking up?
Our will is iron ’til it’s rust

[Chorus]
Mercy is asleep at the wheel
The rest of us are just hanging on
Mercy is asleep at the wheel
Crashing through common sense
Colliding with the past
When will you come around?
Mercy is asleep at the wheel

[Bridge]
Lay your flowers on me
I won’t make a sound
Lower me soft and slow
I can see it now
I’m not alone

[Chorus]
Mercy is asleep at the wheel
The rest of us are just hanging on
Mercy is asleep at the wheel
Crashing through common sense
Colliding with the past
When will you come around?
Mercy is asleep at the wheel
