Mercenary Man Lyrics - Singles - Her Royal Harness

Come on and hold me down 

you know you could 

you know you would 

you know you should get back at me now this time 

Come on lure me into your ropes 

you know you would you know you could 

Come on pull those sounds from my throat 

you know you would you know you could 

You're as savage as the dark woods 

as the foaming hungry sea 

Smile that cuts me, eyes that seize me 

Tear into me piece by piece 

And as your lips part open I see 

live explosives and I know they're for me 

What melody would it make 

if I never took another breath? 

Mercenary man 

I see the lying in your eyes 

when you come back into my life 

now I should break out while I can 

Mercenary man 

you speak your snakes around my pride 

when you come back here every time 

I see the blood that's on your hands 

I'll never mess with another 

Mercenary man 

I was always such a coward 

I could never get it right 

You and your kind came in my mind 

Stuck a thorn into my side 

And as your lips part open I know 

reddened future and it's about to blow 

What melody would it make 

if I never took another breath? 

Mercenary man 

I see the lying in your eyes 

when you come back into my life 

now I should break out while I can 

Mercenary man 

you speak your snakes around my pride 

when you come back here every time 

I see the blood that's on your hands 

I'll never mess with another 

Mercenary man 

I'll never mess, I'll never mess
