Alphaville - MERCURY GIRL lyrics

she's staying around or else she's goin away

it could be forever or it might be a day

or may be forever i call her a mercury girl

she's building me up & then she's knocking me down

like a factory chimney in a northern town

and i am demolished i call her a mercury girl

she never sees me till the sun goes down

lives in a secret world

says: her career is in another town

life with a mercury girl

one day once when i've got some time

i try to hold her but she wouldn't be mine

she slipped through my fingers & i missed the mercury girl

she came back to me with her mocking eyes

she told me she loved me but it could have been lies

and life can be up & down, life with a mercury girl

life can be up & down, life with a mercury girl

one day once when i've got some time

i try to hold her but she wouldn't be mine

she slipped through my fingers & i missed the mercury girl

and life can be up & down, life with a mercury girl

life can be up & down, life with a mercury girl
