Mercury Towers

Well it's been a long day
I can't wait to slip out of my skin
And it's been a long way
I can't decide what state I'll be in
I live in the tower
It's only an hour away from here
I live in the tower
Out of the pink sky
Comes a spanish radio show
Strange not to feel high
Watch the sleeping city below
I watch from my tower
It's only an hour away from here
I live in the tower
Beam from the tower
It's only an hour away from here
I live in the tower
Well there's a factory
Down at the end of, like merlin street
And they pay a good price
Guaranteed and always discreet
When I feel bigger than life
I hold a mirror up to my breath
But it's been a long day
I can't wait to slip out of my skin
Skin in the tower
It's only an hour away from here
I live in the tower
Come to the tower
It's only an hour away from here
I live in the tower
High in the tower
It's only an hour away from here
I live in the tower
Curled in the tower...
Sleep in the tower...
