Legend In My Living Room

When I was just seventeen
I ran away from home
To be with all the pretty people
To be on my own.
Bright lights and trains and bedsit stains
And pavements paved with gold
And I believed in everything
That everybody told me...

Have mercy
Have mercy on me.

I found myself in a lonely place
With a suitcase full of dreams
And I soon grew up to realize
What living in the doghouse means.
But everyday I told myself
Good things gonna happen soon
'Cause I knew that I was going to be
A legend in my living room.

Have mercy
Have mercy on me.

(Welcome to this perfect world)

Now everyday on a dead end street
Is where I spend my time.
The dust has been collecting
On the corners of my mind.
But I've shed my tears in bitter drops
Until the thorn trees bloomed
To take the spiky fruit
To crown myself the Queen of doom.

Have mercy
Have mercy on me.
