Lyrics
Mercury Girl
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
She's staying around or else she's goin away
It could be forever or it might be a day
Or may be forever I call her a mercury girl
She's building me up and then she's knocking me down
Like a factory chimney in a northern town
And I am demolished I call her a mercury girl
She never sees me till the sun goes down
Lives in a secret world
Says: her career is in another town
Life with a mercury girl
One day once when I've got some time
I try to hold her but she wouldn't be mine
She slipped through my fingers and I missed the mercury girl
She came back to me with her mocking eyes
She told me she loved me but it could have been lies
And life can be up and down, life with a mercury girl
Life can be up and down, life with a mercury girl
She never sees me till the sun goes down
Lives in a secret world
Says: her career is in another town
Life with a mercury girl
One day once when I've got some time
I try to hold her but she wouldn't be mine
She slipped through my fingers and I missed the mercury girl
Life can be up and down, life with a mercury girl
Life can be up and down, life with a mercury girl
Life can be up and down, life with a mercury girl
