It makes me think -- "You are confusing you... this lie is guaranteed... You 
are amusing me. Cry mercy, judge. I think the verdict's coming in. I guess 
you'd call it some sweet sin. It's not the sound of things. It's not the 
gift you bring. It's not the choice of words."

Actually, the chorus of "Cry Mercy Judge" is the only thing I dislike about 
Flash Light, one of the truly great rock albums. The lyrics there seem 
careless. (But you never know when they'll come in handy.)

As for the interminable tuning, you have to go back to Tom's own words (from 
his greatest Song):
"I don't draw well but I know how to wait, as if when you wait it is not 
hours but some forgotten sense of time."
