Mercury
My mercury’s in retrograde
This is not the time, the time to start a new love
This is not the time, the time to sign a lease
Try not to worry about what’s forgotten
Try not to worry about what’s been missed
Scars on shins and scars on my knuckles
Today I woke up in a basketball court
Jonjo’s in Sydney and he ain’t returning
I,m sitting in Soho trying to stay drunk
In any bar in the world
From Silverlake to Williamsburg
You could pick another stranger
And fall in love
My mercury’s in retrograde
This is not the time, the time to start a new love
This is not the time, the time to sign a lease
Try not to worry about what’s forgotten
Try not to worry about what’s been missed
Bleeding gums and v-veins protruding
You’re starting to hate all of your clothes
Neumayr’s in LA and she aint returning
I’m sleeping with people I don’t even like
My mercury’s in retrograde
When I saw you last night
I wanted to say…
‘Run away with me’
‘Away from these cynics’
That this could be the start of
Something truly real…
But all that I could say was ‘Hey!’
My mercury’s in retrograde
