Song Description

Mercury is a lot of things. It's a small, volatile planet. It's an element; a liquid metal. It's a powerful neurotoxin. And it's a car. Mercury can either drive you mad.........or drive you away.

Lyrics

Watching for cars
Like the girl I used to be
Headlights in the fog
Watching you shine on me
Tripping madness
Sanity sighs
Wait for me
Just like last time
And we'll drive away
Drive away


Lights are on
Somebody's home
Cuts the blackness
As I play your song
You ride beside me
Every night
Blackness warmer
Than the light
And we'll drive away
Drive away


And I rise to your occasion
Expand in your heat
My poison to yours
Whatever you need
I'm restless and powerless
To stay in one place
How far into crazy
Can I drive on one tank?
I'll let you know
How high the mercury rises



Air slips like liquid
Stars flash chrome
It pulls me over
Before I make home
But I walk and I watch
And I hold out my hands
To your quicksilver
I understand
That poison you can't put down
Will drive you mad, but
I been here before
I'm used to that
I'm somehow more than
I used to be
Filling a space
Much too large for me
I can only drive away
Drive away



Drive away with me
You drive me mad I'll be
Anything
You want from me
Any shape any time
Any place anywhere
Fill any void
I didn't know was there


And I rise to your occasion
Expand in your heat
My poison to yours
Whatever you need
I'm restless and powerless
To stay in one place
How far into crazy
Can I drive on one tank?
I'll let you know
How high the mercury rises


Watching for cars
Like the girl I used to be
Headlights in the fog
Watching you shine on me
Tripping madness
Sanity sighs
Wait for me
Just like last time


And if the sun rise, like headlights
Everyone sees through
I'll squint my eyes
I will too
And I'll drive away
Drive away
