lyrics

I was a comet out in space
Tumbling through the empty waste
You were a pin prick of light for me
Just a far off memory
But your gravitational pull was oh so strong
You threaded the needle that stitched me back into your warm embrace
And relit the fire of my desire

I wanna be your Mercury
Stay as close as I can be
Don’t send me back to the cold dark night
I’ll be your faithful satellite
Hold me in to this tight spin
And lay your hands upon my skin
Lick me with your fiery tongue
Cos your my one and only sun

I know there’s others out there like you
A whole galaxy arrayed
But they can't keep my path stable and true
They're just a pale imitation of you


I wanna be your Mercury etc

What is this force that comes and goes
And catches me in its ebb and flow
Is it just a chemical thing?
I thrive in your space and time
I need your heat, I need your light
And when I hear the rushing spring tide run
I know I know I know
You’re my one and only sun

I wanna be your Mercury etc

Don’t send me back to the cold dark night
I’ll be I’ll be your faithful satellite
