lyrics

Mercury girls
They love you like flowers
They fall off the stem if you
Hold onto them for too long

Wake up to find
She's wilted beside you
She's hiding her mind from you
Saving her secrets for songs

Can you make me
An earthling, a creature who wants what it needs?

It's a curious thing
She looks like the rest of us
Under the skin
She's got different blood
And it's feeding her from within

How can you find
A portal to reach her
A wavelength to speak to her
After all she's been a Mercurian for some time

Don't fall
Don't fall walking high on the edge like that
What goes up on Earth must come down
The heat, the sunlight
They're too much for her
But she's burning for love
Til it burns to the ground
