Panic At The Disco - Mercenary Lyrics

Just a dime-store poet
Keeping pace, talking his face blue
Two dollar store tramps to get a glance
A new chance at you
Walk past the dance floor.
It's always been a dear friend of mine
Cut calls and concubines,
Dancing in four/four time

Hey mister, the bellman says
I can only recall and spend some time I said
So he replies: "then how do you manage?"
I dodge a blast and apologize for collateral damage

In love I've always been a mercenary
But I never leave my post when the cash runs out
I want to make you quiver, make your backbone shiver
Hey kid, take the stage and deliver

Hey mister, the bellman says
I can only recall last night's hotel, I said
So he replies: "then how do you manage?"
I dodge a blast and apologize for collateral damage

(spoken)
How does it feel to stand on the very stones
That ran with your parent's blood?
Do you feel sad? full of rage?
Or does that outfit help bury your feelings?
Hiding your true self?
You are a truly extraordinary specimen.
I look forward to breaking you.

I dodge a blast and apologize for collateral damage

Hey mister, the bellman says
I can only recall last night's hotel, I said
So he replies: "then how do you manage?"
I dodge a blast and apologize for collateral damage

Hey mister, the bellman says
I can only recall last night's hotel, I said
So he replies: "then how do you manage?"
I dodge a blast and apologize for collateral damage
