the black crowes
descending
Have mercy baby I'm descending again Open your eyes This time it's sink or it's swim  No sermons on ascending No verdict on deceit No selfish memorandum No confusion for me  [Chorus:] Curses Curses and clues A feast for fools  Have mercy baby And hand me downs It was just a few years ago You'd hand me ups and map Right out of town  But I would let it slide Like mercury Silver and quick Poisonous and deadly So deadly  [Chorus]
