Mercury - The Weeks

She takes me out dancin'

She separates my pills

She gets away with murder

Takes the money from my pants

Takes the soundness out of days

She takes the same shitty car to work

Eighteen hours straight

She tastes just like mercury

Tempted by something sweet

And now she takes her time at the end of the night

And she pours another drink

I picked my words, so the phrasing was right

She makes it hard to think

I learned from my father

What it mans to be a man

She took moves from hr mother

How to fuss and how to fight

How to put my mind at ease

How to love me so tenderly

She’ll bring me to my knees

She tastes just like mercury

Tempted by something sweet

And now she takes her time at the end of the night

And she pours another drink

I picked my words, so the phrasing was right

She makes it hard to think

She makes it hard to think

Why don’t you retrace your steps?

Tell me what I’ve missed

I will love you ‘til there’s nothing left

When you know you’re gone

You’re so gone

You’re so gone

You’re so gone

I held her like a shadow

She looked whole out in the street

I screamed up at the streetlight

She said, «I'm stuck inside my ways»

Took my heart inside her hand

Said, «It's so easy to love someone,»

«So hard to be a man»

She tastes just like mercury

Tempted by something sweet

And now she takes her time at the end of the night

And she pours another drink

I picked my words, so the phrasing was right

She makes it hard to think

She makes it hard to think
