Mercury Man
[Verse 1]
Sounds like machines talking to me on the phone
I say but they don't quite get me
It's hard to make my feelings known
Sometimes I wish for a long wave
When I'm waiting for someone to calm my tone
Bad vibes, I've got hold dementia
When I'm one thousand hertz from home
Sometimes I wish for a short wave home

[Chorus]
Two human beings
I'm upset, you're upset, what's to be done

[Verse 2]
Old lines, everybody talking from their homes
Bad news but your bed will take you
If you could only feel what's wrong
Sometimes I wish for a hand wave home

[Chorus]
Two human beings
I'm upset, you're upset, what's to be done?
Two human beings
What a mess, what a mess, what's to be done?
[Bridge]
You got to slide it off like mercury
Can I play my parts like mercury?
Would you let me feel like mercury?
Can I always be like mercury?
You got to slide it off like mercury
Can I let it slip like mercury?
Would you let me feel like mercury?
Can I always be like mercury?

[Outro]
We must be somewhere
Can't find it (Nowhere love)
Is it me? I keep calling
It feels like there's no one here
We must be somewhere
Can't find it (Nowhere love)
Is it me? I keep calling
It feels like there's no one here
We must be somewhere
Can't find it (Nowhere love)
Is it me? I keep calling
It feels like there's no one here
We must be somewhere
Can't find it (Nowhere love)
Is it me? I keep calling
It feels like there's no one here
