    PAUL MCCARTNEY - AT THE MERCY From CHAOS AND CREATION album.
                     Released on 13th September 2005.

----------------------------------------------------------------







At the mercy, at the mercy 
At the mercy of a busy road 
Who can handle such a heavy load? 

At the mercy, At the mercy 
At the mercy of a busy day 
We can think of nothing more to say 

If you show me love I won't refuse 
I know you'd never make me choose 
Between the love I've got and the love I'd lose 

Sometimes I'd rather run and hide 
Then stay and face the fear inside 

At the mercy, at the mercy 
At the mercy of a busy day  
Who can bear to turn their head away? 

At the mercy, at the mercy 
At the mercy of a busy road 
We can watch the universe explode 

If you take me up I won't say no 
I guess you'd rather see me grow 
Into a better man than the one you know 

Sometimes my head is hanging low 
It's time to get on with the show 

At the mercy, at the mercy 
At the mercy of a busy day 
I can think of nothing more to say
