White faced phantoms in a foggy rain Minnows in the pool, the way they slip away And I go fumbling, go running in and repossess The story of my youth The story of my electric pains Are we running after flickering sparks, oh? Are we babbling for diamonds in the dark, oh? The way we chase that mercury The way we chase that mercury Loud like lions in the [slickest wood?] Desperately we haunt the other animal But in the end, if all we are is dogs out back, chasing cars Then pray that we don't get the things we want Are we running after flickering sparks, oh? Are we grappling for diamonds in the dark, oh? The way we chase that mercury The way we chase that mercury, oh Love, a pound of flesh Offer it up to the gods of American success Doesn't matter what you are, you're only second best If it's all that you can ever hope to be The way you chase that mercury, oh Songtexte Around your [?] fumble in the mystery Afraid to be, it smells while we pretend to be Something more than what we are Losing love a bunch run hearts Mystified by everything we see Are we running after flickering sparks, oh? Are we grappling for diamonds in the dark, oh? The way we chase that mercury The way we chase that mercury, oh Oh, the way we chase that mercury The way we chase that mercury, oh Love, a pound of flesh Offer it up to the gods of American success Doesn't matter who you are, you're only second best If it's all that you can ever hope to be The way you chase that mercury, oh The way you chase that mercury There must be more to this Our desperate wonder and How do we put to rest All of our victims and Beneath the shadows of All that we think we want These sterile eyes, we can't see There must be more to this Our desperate wonder and How do we put to rest All of our victims and Beneath the shadows of All that we think we want These sterile eyes, we can't see The way you chase that mercury Aus Songtexte Mania
