Mercury

Leave for the country let the day begin
I carry my share of original sin
I’m writing you a letter from a telephone
Sign it messenger man in the great unknown
And I wanna be like Mercury
With the wind blowin' through my hair
Swim up the river to the cedar trees
Follow the sun and catch a nice cool breeze
Bicycle trail only runs so far
This is a place you can’t get by car
And I wanna be like Mercury
With the wind blowin' through my hair
Walk through the woods on a moonlit night
I carry a compass and a small flashlight
Deliver my message in a mason jar
Planting my seeds they’re growing star to star
And I wanna be like Mercury
With the wind blowin' through my hair
