Oh Mercy - Fever lyrics

I'm dying pooch you oughta put me down I turned a sickly shade of grey whilst other guys got brown Some poeples said i was good, other peoples said i was great I met the Governor of California called him mate And he kicked me straight in the guts He got me dragging my feet I had the clowns, had the horses, had pigeons too I had the whole damn circus promise my debut Then I called for the doctor i said 'well my head aches' He said 'the birds just go crazy for that dead beat taste' I got a black bird baby picking at my brains Sold my soul to the devil but the devil don't pay I got a fever foxy mumma, used to make me feel good But that same fever baby don't make feel like it should Now there's a woman before me I guess my luck has changed I try to give her what she wants but my will has been broken Had it all planned out, I drew a map in the sand Then the hurricane hit now I'm in hostile land Things are going pretty bad I guess they can only get worst I got sent the Jesus freaks when all I need is a nurse I got a black bird baby picking at my brains Just tie my bones to the saddle, let go of the reins You might find yourslef walking down a cobble stone street You see me tied to a column where the wise men speak I hear they're giving out stones so let your aim be true And don't pity me because I wouldn't pity you I got a black bird baby picking at my brains Sold my soul to the devil but the devil don't pay
