Lyrics & Music: John Mercy

[Who Took Harry Down?]

Was it your god on bended knees?
He always gets what he needs
I heard his thoughts on death, and faith that cruel fever came upon my bones
He saw my fear creeping fast, he said
“god’s just the one you should trust”

So who took Harry down?
Oh who took Harry down
As far as I can tell, you’re going straight to hell,
for taking Harry down

There was something in his book, a footnote of a kind:
“I am the victor of a worn-out deal”
so I paused and I dwelled.
Was it poison in his cup? A knife in his side?
That deal is over and it’s never coming back

So who took Harry down?
Oh who took Harry down
As far as I can tell, you’re going straight to hell,
for taking Harry down
Who the fuck took Harry from the womb?
Right then and there that’s when you lose
to the good lord with the bended knee that got the drop on a devil like me

So who took Harry down? - oh I did
who took Harry down? – oh I did
And as far as I can tell, I’m going straight to hell,
for taking Harry down

Oh I dreamt you had returned from the words of your book
And all those promises made of smoke, you would tend to them and make them true
And all the while I believed

you broke Harry down
Oh you broke Harry down
And as far as I can tell, you’re going straight to hell,
But you didn’t take him down
So who took Harry down? - oh I did
Who took Harry down? – oh I did
And as far as I can tell, I’m going straight to hell,
for taking Harry down
