Quietly, almost elusively
Almost invisibly
I found that I
For a moment
Had slipped away

Ripped in two, then pasted back again
Then crumpled up inside
Then tossed aside
You know that
It feels so bad

Oh Mercury
Oh Mercury

Happened once, then it
Happened twice
Then it happened thrice
And now a fourth?
You know that?
Did you know that?

Ripped in two, then pasted back again
Then crumpled up inside
Then tossed aside
You know that
It feels so bad
Oh Mercury
Oh Mercury

Quietly, almost elusively
Almost invisibly
I found that I
For a moment
Had slipped away

Ripped in two, then pasted back again
Then crumpled up inside
Then tossed aside
You know that
It feels so bad

Oh Mercury
Oh Mercury
Oh Mercury
Oh Mercury
