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
