Welcome To This Perfect World

When I was just seventeen
I ran away from home

To be with all the pretty people

To be on my own

Bright lights and trains
                                                     and bedsit stains

And pavements paved with gold

And I believed in everything that everybody told me

Have mercy
Have mercy on me

I found myself in a lonely place 

                                                                          with a suitcase full of dreams

And I soon grew up to realise
                                                                               what living in the doghouse means

But everyday I told myself
good things would happen soon

'cause I knew that I was going to be
a legend in my living room

Have mercy

Come on Sisters... say

Have mercy on me

Have mercy

Come on Mother... say

Have mercy on me

Have mercy

Come on Father... say

Have mercy on me

Now everyday on a dead end street is where I spend my time

The dust has been collecting on the corners of my mind

But I've shed my tears in bitter drops until the thorn trees bloomed

To take the spiky fruit to crown myself the Queen of doom

Have mercy

Come on Brother ... say

Have mercy on me

Welcome to this perfect world
