elton john - have mercy on the criminal (live in australia 1986) lyrics

[verse 1]
have you heard the dogs at night
somewhere on the hill?
chasing some poor criminal
and i guess they’re out to k!ll
oh, there must be shackles on his feet
and mother in his eyes
stumbling through the devil+dark
with the hound pack in full cry

[chorus]
have mercy on the criminal
who is running from the law
are you blind to the winds of change?
don’t you hear him any more?
saying, “lord, you gotta help me
now i am never gonna sin again
take these chains from around my legs
sweet jesus, i’ll be your friend”
[verse 2]
now have you еver seen the white t++th glеam
while you lie on a cold damp ground?
taking in the face of a rifle b+tt
while the wardens hold you down
and you’ve never seen a friend in years
oh, it turns your heart to stone
you jump the wall and the dogs run free
and the grave’s gonna be your home

[guitar solo]

[chorus]
oh, have mercy on the criminal
who is running from the law
are you blind to the winds of change?
oh, don’t you hear him any more?
saying, “lord, you gotta help me
now i am never gonna sin again
take these chains from around my legs
sweet jesus, i’ll be your friend”
