"Mercury"
(written by Kristin Hersh)

I am the opposite of you, ooh
You battle your mean spirit
I'm suffering through my own
You answer to no one
I don't know what that's like
I honestly don't know what that's like
We quit making out to attend this meeting
With old ladies on tremendous amounts of coke
And reeling, I hear my bad voice call
My wayward brain reels
My easily distracted brain reels
Head full of...
Climbing mercury, climbing mercury
Climbing mercury, climbing mercury
I am a compliment to you, ooh
We park in the shade
And somehow equate that with dealing 
I hope I don't stomp on your heart
I know what that's like
Believe me, I know what that's like
Head full of...
Climbing mercury, climbing mercury
Climbing mercury, climbing mercury

Don't worry, dance in the road.
