Mercury Id Blues Lyrics & Tabs by Will Stratton
Mercury Id Blues
guitar chords lyrics
Hey, you found me at long last
I've been pacing here all decade for you
Can you feed me nice and slow
Like I'll never eat again,
It's true you know
I've been rootless, possessed by what I can't find
Now I'm useless, in love out of my mind
My friends shake me and they say
Don't you speak too soon, my William
This might not stay
But I scorn them and reply
That it matters not one whit
What lives and dies
I've been restless, caressed by eaves so tall
Now I'm bested, a trophy on a wall
What lives and dies
I've been restless, caressed by eaves so tall
Now I'm bested, a trophy on a wall
Will I ever have another like you?
Don't you dare tell me the truth
I'd rather spend the rest of my life
Trying in vain to reel in that line
When water is the only proof
Maybe nothing can compare
But I'll sit here catching nothing,
There's nothing there
And I'll dream here, only you
Coming in and out of focus
Black and blue
I've been senseless
Mercury on my hands
I'm defenseless
Against my id's demands
