Well please, please, oh please
I'm beggin' on my knees
Put one in the cup
I got a fatal disease
Could you help me get back on my feet?
Why don't you give me something you don't need?



Oh girl, I won't ask for your love

But if you show me some love

I'm gonna sing you a song

Going to streetlight circle my home

I'm not a king of the world

But I'm a king of the boat



And I'm falling asleep

To escape this dream



Well they call me crazy

They say I'm alone

I'm not a king of the world

But I'm a king of the streets

I'm gonna rattle your bones

Don't call me lazy

Cause I'm a dangerous man

I'm not a king of the world

But I'm a king of the streets

I guess I'm good as dead



Well I am the pharmacist

I am the dirty fiend

I've got the coldest kiss

You are embarrassed of me

I've got blood on my shoes from another man

I can't walk

Here we're sleeping

But please don't tell them this

There's no mercy in their treatment



Mercy, mercy, mercy

We take the pills

Take the pills

Mercy, mercy, mercy

It's twice the thrill



And I'm falling asleep

To escape this dream



They call me crazy

They say I'm alone

I'm not a king of the world

But I'm a king of the streets

I'm gonna rattle your bones

Don't call me lazy

Cause I'm a dangerous man

I'm not a king of the world

But I'm a king of the streets

I guess I'm good as dead



Mercy, mercy, mercy

We take the pills

Take the pills

Mercy, mercy, mercy

Lean back and take the pills

Mercy, mercy, mercy

We take the pills

Take the pills

Mercy, mercy, mercy

Lean back and take the pills



And I'm falling asleep

To escape this dream



They call me crazy

They say I'm alone

I'm not a king of the world

But I'm a king of the streets

I'm gonna rattle your bones

Don't call me lazy

Cause I'm a dangerous man

I'm not a king of the world

But I'm a king of the streets

I guess I'm good as dead
