She's staying around or else she's goin away

It could be forever or it might be a day

Or may be 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



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

And life can be up & down, life with a mercury girl

Life can be up & down, life with a mercury girl
