Mercury Man (alternate lyrics)

These lyrics are for the early live versions of "Mercury Man" performed in 2011. For the Centipede Hz release, see Mercury Man. |
Sounds like my machine's talking to me on the phone
I sit but they couldn't get me
They told me all I'd have to know
Sometimes I wish for the short way
Am I waiting for someone to calm me down
Bad vibes in the old dimension
And I'm a thousand hertz from home
Sometimes I wish for the long way home
Two human beings
I'm upset, you're upset
what's to be done?
Old night, everybody talking from their homes
I know that they could have traced it
If they could only see what's wrong
Sometimes I wish for the long way home
Two human beings
I'm upset, you're upset
what's to be done?
Two human beings
I confess, you confess
what's to be done?
Gonna slide it down like mercury
Would you hang it in like mercury
Would you let it slip like mercury
Would you always feel like mercury
Would you stay apart like mercury
Would you let me in like mercury
Would you hang it down like mercury
Would you always be like mercury
To talk to someone in the heart of nowhere
Soon to be rollin' in the lonely
To love with someone in the heart of nowhere
Soon to be cold and be lonely
To sleep with someone in the heart of nowhere
Soon to be cold and be lonely
To work with someone in the heart of nowhere
Soon to be rollin' in the lonely
[Pitchfork Fest version]
