On Mercury

red hot chili peppers - on mercury

i’ve got myself

in a masochistic hold

why don’t you let go

shake it off

just to redirect my flow

come on let’s go

sit up straight

i’m on a double date

i’ve got to find my way

into the light, heavy, middle weight

we don’t stop rock around the clock

the motor mouthing off

in front of every other road block

come again and tell me

what you’re going thru

like a girl who only knew

her child was due

memories of everything

of lemon trees on mercury

come to me with remedies

from five or six of seven seas

you always took me with a smile

when i was down

memories of everything

that blew thru

looking up into

a reverse vertigo

what an undertow

give it up

another stubborn scorpio

come on, let’s go

sit up straight

i’m on a double date

i’ve got to find my way

into the light, heavy, middle weight

we don’t stop rock around the clock

the motor mouthing off

in front of every other road block

come again and tell me

what you’re going thru

like a girl who only knew

her child was due

to the moon she gave

another good review

turn around and look at me

it’s really really really you

memories of everything

of lemon trees on mercury

come to me with remedies

from five or six of seven seas

you always took me with a smile

when i was down

memories of everything

that blew thru

sit up straight

i’m on a double date

i’ve got to find my way

into the light, heavy, middle weight

we don’t stop rock around the clock

the motor mouthing off

in front of every other road block

memories of everything

of lemon trees on mercury

come to me with remedies

from five or six of seven seas

you always took me with a smile

when i was down

memories of everything

that blew thru

memories of everything

of lemon trees on mercury

come to me with remedies

from five or six of seven seas

you always took me with a smile

when i was down

memories of everything

that blew thru
