Peter Gabriel - Mercy Street (William Orbit Mix) lyrics

Looking down on empty streets
All she can see
Are the dreams all made solid
Are the dreams made real
All of the buildings, all of the cars
Were once just a dream in somebody's head
She pictures the broken glass
Pictures the steam she pictures a soul
With no leak at the seams
Wait until darkness let's take the boat out
Wait until darkness comes


Nowhere in the corridors of
Pale green and grey nowhere in the suburbs
In the cold light of day
There in the midst of it, so alive and alone
Words support like bone

Dreaming of Mercy Street
Wear your inside out dreaming of mercy
In your daddy's arms again
Dreaming of Mercy Street
I swear they moved that sign
Dreaming of mercy in your daddy's arms

Mercy mercy
Oh looking for mercy
Oh oh
Oh oh
Oh oh
Oh
