she's staying around or else she's goin away
it could be forever or it might be a day
or may be forever i call her a mercury girl
she's building me up & then she's knocking me down
like a factory chimney in a northern town
and i am demolished i call her a mercury girl
she never sees me till the sun goes down
lives in a secret world
says: her career is in another town
life with a mercury girl
one day once when i've got some time
i try to hold her but she wouldn't be mine
she slipped through my fingers & i missed the mercury girl
she came back to me with her mocking eyes
she told me she loved me but it could have been lies
and life can be up & down, life with a mercury girl
life can be up & down, life with a mercury girl
one day once when i've got some time
i try to hold her but she wouldn't be mine
she slipped through my fingers & i missed the mercury girl
and life can be up & down, life with a mercury girl
life can be up & down, life with a mercury girl
