The Pretenders | Lyrics | The Phone Call

This is a mercy mission
From a faceless messenger
Who don't wanna see you hit
Here's the word, listen to it

Somebody that you used to know
Is back in town you better go

This is a mercy mission
A voice you'll never hear again
From a south side call box
Winged demons are the hardest to outfox

Same one you lost on the run
Gonna show you it ain't no fun

You better get out of town
You're gonna get hit
I didn't mean to get you

This is a mercy mission
You'll find your schedule underneath the door
All of the arrangements have been made
Major expenses have been paid as you know

Get the last details
Gonna parcel the mail
