Quicksilver
The earth is crumbling
Though it may take a while
The sky is falling
In trickles and spurts and decay
And I’m just fumbling for a miracle
Quicksilver flash of the mercury
I’m weighing time on a scale
Quicksilver flash of the mercury
Flash of the mercury
The air is thinning
Got no head for the clouds
Someone is calling
Or is it my thoughts played out loud
The room is spinning on its lazy way
Quicksilver flash of the mercury
I’m weighing time on a scale
Quicksilver flash of the mercury
I’m telling you for the very last time
Just got to walk out that door
And stare straight into the light of day
You won't look back anymore
The earth is crumbling
Now it won’t be too long
The sun is fading
Stealing my breath in the haze
And I’m just slipping through the needle’s eye
Quicksilver flash of the mercury
I’m weighing time on a scale
Quicksilver flash of the mercury
Flash of the mercury
