"Descending" lyrics

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
A feast, a feast for fools
Curses, curses and clues
A feast, a 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 map right out of town
But I would let it slide
Slide like mercury
Silver and quick, baby
Poisonous and deadly, so deadly

Curses, curses and clues
Just a feast, a feast for fools
Curses, curses and clues
A feast, a feast for fools
Lemme say curses, lemme tell you now, clues
Just a feast, a feast for fools, whoa
Curses, curses and clues
A feast, a feast for fools
