Mercury

iTunes or CD Baby or Digstation

Like mercury cradled inside my hand

You slipped away like that was always your plan

Driving your car, the ride was so sweet

Silver and smooth like mercury

Holding your waist, dashing, dancing to songs

Filling the air, drinking drowning our wrongs

Under the stars with the pulsating beat

But you slipped away into the crowd

Oh where could you be?

Up in the sky the planets turn

They do not care about my plight

So Mars and Jupiter you crash & burn

And I’ll worship at the alter of her body by your light

By your light, by your light – Yea…

Like mercury cradled inside my hand

You slipped away like that was always your plan

Driving your car, the ride was so sweet

Silver and smooth like mercury

Ah my sexy senorita

I’ve got a little treat

That’s hidden on my tongue and I don’t lie

I ain’t generally braggadocios

But somehow I’m getting closer

If it’s the last thing that I do tonight

I think your sweetness is my weakness

And your hips bring me completeness

I think paradise is underneath your dress

So shake’em while you hover

Make me your only lover

‘Cause they’ll be no need for us to rest

 Yes, yes, yes, yes...
