Steve Lacy – Mercury Lyrics

Gemini
I’m a myth and I’m a legend
Who never wins
And might not ever play again
Keep falling in
Life’s so fast, and I gotta get
Speeding, when I should ease in?
Oh, I know myself, my sins
Dug my pit, then I fell in
Pulled that trigger, killed us both
Lesson learned, but truth gets old

Little of Heaven, little unpleasant
I don’t know
Little love, pleasure, little depression
I don’t know
Little of Heaven, little unpleasant
I don’t know
How I can tell if? How I can measure
If I don’t know?

I looked up at the ceiling as I draft my “I’m so sorry” text
Don’t regret the boys I chose, but do regret the mess I made
I see you hurt, I wish I could just hold you tight, and close
Don’t need long, just want to say, “I love you and miss you more”
Oh, I know myself, my skin
Rolling stones don’t crawl back in
Daddy’s faults fell down on me
Break that curse for sweet relief

Little of Heaven, little unpleasant
I don’t know
Little love, pleasure, little depression
I don’t know
Little of Heaven, little unpleasant
I don’t know
How I can tell if? How I can measure
If I don’t know?

Mercury running amuck in my mind
Can’t tell if I’m winning or falling behind
Venus in retrograde got me in bed
And thinking about all of the shit that I said
Gemini Scope give me depth ’til I’m dead
But I can’t seem to get the fuck out of my head
But fuck it, I’ll just cop a Porsche instead
I do as I please, and you see where we’re lead
Get something better, ’bout to happen to me
You think I’m two-faced, I could name 23

My layers, all these sides
Could you stick by for the ride?
It’s a thrill, and I don’t even know how to feel
It might be too real, might be too
Real, might be too real, real
I said, might be too
I said, might be too real, real
I said, might be too real

Excuse me if I lied
I forgot I said that
Can you forgive my tongue?
I’ll show where my head at
I don’t think I’m the one
But I could be your girlfriend
‘Til retrograde is done
