Joseph Arthur - Mercedes lyrics

I been next to you for a lifetime

i been watching you from the start

Always trying to keep yourself put together

Always needing to fall apart

You wanna ride in my mercedes

Tonight we'll dance outside along the seashore

A quarter moon will paint our shadows on the cold sand

You ask me how come we dance

Well there is no reason at all

I hope that you will burn down this old house

And I hope that you will escape right through the front door

Turn aournd when you're safe

And talk about what they done to you

Turn aournd when you're safe

And watch this house burn to the ground

Oh I hope that you will rise

When you talk about what they done

Oh i know you will rise

When you watch yourself burn to the ground

Oh I hope that you will rise

When you talk about what they done

Oh i know you will rise

You wanna ride in my mercedes

Everyday we are closer and far away

Everyday we are closer and far away

Oh I hope that you will rise

When you talk about what they done

Oh i know you will rise

When you watch yourself burn to the ground

Oh I hope that you will rise

When you talk about what they done

Oh i know you will rise

When you watch yourself burn to the ground

Oh I hope that you will rise

When you talk about what they done

Oh i know you will rise

When you watch yourself burn to the ground

Oh I know you will rise

When you talk about it

You will rise, you will rise

You will rise
