[Pixies - Mercy Me lyrics]
Mercy me, mercy me
I lost my dog down Tennessee
Mercy me, cursed me
I lost my dog down Tennessee
[Verse 1]
Now everyone's looking
For something to do
We went to take a walk on the avenue
We heard the tragedienne
We heard her sing all through the night
I remember her then, bathed in the light
Of that atomic number ten
[Verse 2]
Never moved to talk
And you could not smile
But that face as you walked said
"I'll be back in a while"
I called the police
I called the National Guard
I prayed to the Prince of Peace
And I prayed to Saint Bernard
[Chorus]
Mercy me, mercy me
I lost my dog down Tennessee
Mercy me, cursed me
I lost my dog down Tennessee
[Verse 3]
Country music filled the air
Reddish orange from the star
Upon her hair and her guitars
But I don't see you anywheres
[Chorus]
Mercy me, mercy me
I lost my dog down Tennessee
Mercy me, cursed me
I lost my dog down Tennessee
