Mercury

Rise up! Like mercury!  In this climate, in this climate

Slow down, like traffic stalled, in this city,  in this city

No more talking, engines running,  let’s go walking down the street.

It’s just a block and we’ve both got ten toes on two pairs of feet.

We’ve got to burn the clutch and grind the gears and stall the car for my waking fears

Turn it all off

Rise up! Like mercury!  In this climate, in this climate

Slow down, like traffic stalled, in this city,  in this city

All this asphalt,

it is my fault. Turn the paving stone into bricks for homes

There’s no time to idle in the queue

Burning burning

Harness the sun or the wind instead

The earth is

Yearning yearning

For us to shut it all down

Let’s shut it all down

Rise up! Like mercury!  In this climate, in this climate.

Slow down, like traffic stalled, in this city,  in this city
