[00:00.537]White faced phantoms in a foggy rain
[00:03.847]Minnows in the pool the way they slip away
[00:07.613]And I go fumbling go running in and repossess
[00:10.937]The story of my youth
[00:12.426]The story of my electric past
[00:14.680]Are we running after flickering sparks oh
[00:17.888]Are we babbling for diamonds in the dark oh
[00:21.306]The way we chase that Mercury
[00:24.019]The way we chase that Mercury
[00:27.836]Loud like lions in the slickest wool
[00:31.218]Desperately we haunt the other animals
[00:34.797]But in the end if all we are is dogs out back chasing cars
[00:38.061]Then pray that we don't get the things we want
[00:42.379]Are we running after flickering sparks oh
[00:45.412]Are we grappling for diamonds in the dark oh
[00:48.518]The way we chase that Mercury
[00:51.618]The way we chase that Mercury oh
[00:55.257]Love a pound of flesh
[00:56.904]Offer it up to the Gods of American success
[01:00.495]Doesn't matter what you are you're only second best
[01:03.801]If it's all that you can ever hope to be
[01:07.173]The way you chase that Mercury oh
[01:15.918]Around your fumble in the mystery
[01:19.291]Afraid to be it smells while we pretend to be
[01:22.776]Something more than what we are
[01:24.435]Losing love a bunch run hearts
[01:26.296]Mystified by everything we see
[01:30.213]Are we running after flickering sparks oh
[01:33.465]Are we grappling for diamonds in the dark oh
[01:36.500]The way we chase that Mercury
[01:39.535]The way we chase that Mercury oh
[01:43.501]Oh the way we chase that Mercury
[01:46.664]The way we chase that Mercury oh
[01:50.152]Love a pound of flesh
[01:51.934]Offer it up to the Gods of American success
[01:55.401]Doesn't matter who you are you're only second best
[01:58.556]If it's all that you can ever hope to be
[02:01.769]The way you chase that Mercury oh
[02:04.172]There must be more to this
[02:07.340]Our desperate wandering
[02:10.834]How do we put to rest
[02:14.215]All of our victims and
[02:17.723]Beneath the shadows of
[02:21.104]All that we think we want
[02:24.533]Is there a light we can't see
[02:31.438]There must be more to this
[02:34.824]Our desperate wandering
[02:38.290]How do we put to rest
[02:41.651]All of our victims and
[02:45.145]Beneath the shadows of
[02:48.531]All that we think we want
[02:51.969]Is there a light we can't see
[02:57.029]The way you chase that Mercury
