Mercury Songtext
von The Wrong Windows

Hang up and drive it down
Right thru the monster′s ribcage
Sticks in the ground where
The partisan lines have been laid
Cockpit or not it's a swell of a beautiful stage

An eye on the polls while
The barber takes care of his chin
They seem to be rising but
Really just sit there and spin
Hogwash or not it′s a hell of beautiful grin

A world without edges
Horizon unseen
Spread out on the surface
Your mercury dream


The look that she gave made it
Difficult for him to stand
Not so much seductive as
Badly in need of a man
Now we all know her face
Like her face knows the back of his hand

A world without edges
Horizon unseen
Spread out on the surface
Your mercury dream

A world without urges
Inhaling obscene
Spread out on the surface
Your mercury dream
Your mercury dream

The euphemisms are the proof
That he's saving the day
Distinguished and silver
Replacing decrepit and gray
As he rolled up the limosine
Window was rumored to say


Nice try Delilah
Nice try Delilah
Nice try Delilah
Nice try Delilah, Delilah
Delilah, Delilah
Delilah, Delilah
Delilah, Delilah, Ohh
Delilah, Delilah
Delilah, Delilah, Ohh

A world without edges
Horizon unseen
Spread out on the surface
Your mercury dream
Your mercury dream

Hang up and drive
Hang up and drive
Hang up and drive
Hang up and drive it
Hang up and drive

Nice try Delilah
Nice try Delilah
Nice try Delilah
Nice try Delilah
Nice try Delilah
Nice try Delilah
