Wasted and livid Like a demon that's being driven Down in a hole, lost in the sky Wasted youth, never say die (chorus) Back in hole, from which it came To rise again It's my mercury Another time, another place To rise again It's my mercury My mercury Cast out, I've been beaten down A wounded dog still foaming at the mouth Born again leper king To mystify the seven seas (chorus) All of the time I can't erase Look at the lines upon my face This is the way it has to be This is what they call my mercury (x2)
