The Weeks - Mercury lyrics

rate me

She takes me out dancing

She separates my pill

She gets away with murder

Takes the money from my fans

Takes the silence out of days

She takes the same shitty work

18 hours straight

She tastes just like mercury

Tell me if it’s something sweet

And now she takes her time at the end of the night

Then she pours another drink

I bring my word so the phrasing was loud

I should have made it

It’s all you think

I learned from my father

What meanings feel now

She tangles from her mother

How to fuzz it, how to fight

How to put my money at ease

How to glow me so tender

That she’ll bring me to my knees

She tastes just like mercury

Tell me if it’s something sweet

And now she takes her time at the end of the night

Then she pours another drink

I bring my word so the phrasing was loud

She makes it hard to drink

She makes it hard to drink

Why don’t you retrace your steps?

Tell me what I missed?

I will love you ‘til it’s nothing left

When you know you’re gone

You’re just so cold

You’re just so cold

You’re just so cold

I hold her like a shadow

She looks tall in the street

The scream above the street light

Sounds I go my ways

My heart is out of hand

It’s so easy to love someone

So hard to be a man

She tastes just like mercury

Tell me if it’s something sweet

And now she takes her time at the end of the night

Then she pours another drink

I bring my word so the phrasing was loud

She makes it hard to drink

She makes it hard to drink
