Oh one night of mercy
   Give me one night of merciful
   Shocks to the skull
   Watching these specimens grow
  
   Small miracles stuffed
   In old powder kegs
   Can't mix boot leather
   With common-sense rags
   Watching these specimens grow
  
   I may know nothing
   But it never says no
   Won't answer in good turn
   Earth rumbling below
   Got hope in the backseat
   And truth on the roof
   Look out below
   This rumbling needs somewhere to go
  
   All cut up and painless
   Brake lights blown out
   On the back of your skull
   Watching these specimens grow
  
   O misery's daughter
   Please know when to quit
   Not a hose for the fire
   There's a snake in the pit
   Watching these specimen sgrow
  
   I may know nothing
   But it never says no
   Won't answer in good turn
   Earth rumbling below
   Got hope in the backseat
   And truth on the roof
   Look out below
   This rumbling needs somewhere to go
  
   One night of mercy
   Give me one night so merciful
   One night of mercy
