Mercy On Broadway Songtext
Madison smiled

and she hung with a band of

strays

the band was gone

bringin' it on
to the Broadway blaze

once I lived under the city in my

sweet July



July mercy on Broadway

don't you believe it

you better know what I say

she'll make you pay

down the alleyway

slippin' up a sidestreet
shine

everybody

shine



on Broadway

jive and pray

There ain't no mercy now

on Broadway

People and the landlords shine

down and gay wine

in the doom swept the band away

Baby, on Broadway

is she mild

like mother and child?

does she obey?

once I lived under the city in

my sweet July



July mercy on Broadway

don't you believe it

you better know what I say

she'll make you pay

Black city fair

ole road runner there

shine

everybody

shine
