Phish - Mercury Lyrics

The days that are met with only-ness
Aid and abet this loneliness
The days that are met with only-ness
Aid and abet this loneliness
The days that are met with only-ness
Aid and abet this loneliness
The days that are met with only-ness
Aid and abet this loneliness

Tonight's the night, the wheels are turning
The signal flows, I try to keep the home fires burning
That was my stop, but the subway kept going
Nothing to lose when Mercury's showing

The days that are met with only-ness
Aid and abet this loneliness
The days that are met with only-ness
Aid and abet this loneliness

The moments are mine if I can just seize the day
But then I forget what it is that I meant to say
I try to hold on but never too tight
The hours go by 'til Mercury comes out at night

Staring up at the great machine
That never began and will never end
From the silver starlit tapestry
I see countless eyes staring back at me
Venus in steel, the unbreakable net
Venus in steel, the unbreakable net
The trail of lilies and violets ends
Trapped in steel, the unbreakable net

And the rivers run deep like a quicksilver stream
With wings on your feet, your day is longer than your year
I look up at the night sky, for a moment, I can see
That the rivers run deep, your day is longer than your year
The lies they feed to me are as edible as mercury
The rivers run deep, your day is longer than your year
And Water Star is singing its silver melody
The rivers run deep, your day is longer than your year
Your day is longer than your year

The tomb of the red queen is painted in vermilion
Painted in vermilion, painted in vermilion
Painted in vermilion
The tomb of the red queen is painted in vermilion
Painted in vermilion, it's painted in vermilion
It's painted in vermilion

And the net's unbreakable, don't worry about falling
The voice that you ignore might be your future calling
Alone, we're tossed about like a bottle in the sea
But together we ascend, and only then escape this gravity
The net's unbreakable, don't worry about falling
The net's unbreakable, don't worry about falling
The net's unbreakable, don't worry about falling
The net's unbreakable, don't worry about falling
The net's unbreakable
