Great song, but this is a shortened version that cuts out the haunting keyboards at the end. Please play the entire song! |

I never appreciated this song when it came out, but now I can relate. Mercy, mercy.

That whole song cycle that this is part of is so incredibly brilliant. It's more than a single pop song. Much more.
