Mercury Girl

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
