Have mercy baby   I'm descending again   Open your eyes baby   'Cause this time it's sink or it's swim      No sermons on ascending   No verdict on deceit   I have no selfish memorandum   No, no confusion for me   Not for me      Curses, curses and clues   Feast, feast for fools   Curses, curses and clues   Feast, feast for fools      So have mercy baby   And hand me down   Well, it was just a few years ago   You'd hand me up and a map right out of town      But I would let it slide   Slide like mercury   All silver and quick, baby   Poisonous and deadly   So deadly      Curses, curses and clues   Just a feast, feast for fools   Tell you now, curses, curses and clues   A feast, a feast for fools      Let me say curses, let me tell you no clues   Forever just the feast, feast for fools, oh   Curses, curses and clues   A feast, a feast for fools, oh
