Mercury Girl

She's staying around or else she's going away
It could be forever or it might be a day
or maybe 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

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

She's staying around or else she's going away
It could be forever or it might be a day
or maybe 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
and I am demolished
I call her a mercury girl
