Mercenary lyrics

[Verse 1]

Just a dime store poet

Keeping pace, talking his face blue

Two dollar store tramps

To get a glance, a new chance at you

Walk past the dance floor

That’s always been a dear friend of mine

Cuckolds and concubines

Dancing in four, four time

[Chorus]

“Hey mister!” the bellman says, “I can only recall and spend some time I said”

So he replies “Then how do you manage?”

I dodge the blast, and apologize for collateral damage

[Verse 2]

In love, I've always been a mercenary, but I never leave my post when the cash runs out

I want to make you quiver

Make your backbone shiver

Hey kid, take the stage and deliver

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]

“How does it feel to stand on the very stones that ran with your parent’s blood

Do you feel sad? Full of rage? Or does that outfit help you bury your feelings

Hiding your true self

You’re truly an extraordinary specimen, I look forward to breaking you”

I dodge the blast, and apologize for collateral damage

[Chorus][x2]
