[Verse 1]
Cops and robbers, strictly bargain line
Spent the wet night tracking visions through the pines
Draw my arms into my hospital gown
See the sky open and rain down
Rain down

[Refrain]
Mercy
Mercy for the Diaz brothers
Mercy for the Diaz brothers

[Verse 2]
Hear my rivals on the western wind
Hard to know who might or might not be your friend
Work by the Plutonian light
Forbidden rosary prayers all night
All night

[Refrain]
Mercy
Mercy for the Diaz brothers
Mercy for the Diaz brothers

[Bridge]
Beam of the flash-light
All night in the woods
Hunt us like the dogs we are
And then you can string us up for good
[Verse 3]
Keep one step ahеad of enemies
And forеtell worse things than such frightful nights as these
Lead us to the beach by our hands
And bury us there in the sand
Bury us head first

[Refrain]
Mercy
Mercy for the Diaz brothers
Mercy for the Diaz brothers
Mercy for the Diaz brothers
Mercy for the Diaz brothers
Oh!

[Outro]
Yeah!
It is so weird, you know. Here's the thing. When I write songs, I've got my eyes closed, and there's a pretend audience in the room, sort of, you know? It's like I'm imagining people responding. But it's weird to open your eyes after a band performance and then there's like a cart and a stool
I wish y'all were here, I wish y'all were here
