Mercury Smile

(альбом: Maybe It's Me - 1997)

It's been all the same
The wasted words
The way I'm feeling strange
Colours gone the way
Of empty rooms
And leaning over days

Letterbox in TV frame
I let you in, you'd do the same

And maybe I can laugh if off again

I love your mercury smile
It keeps me outta line
I try to simplify
The complicated kind
I got an alibi
If you're so inclined

Everything is beautiful
I don't know why it had to be this way

I recall the blame
The failing terms, the light revealing stain
A fabric starts to frey
With every line of thought begins decay

Letterbox in TV frame
No reaction to a claim
Credit photograph
It made me laugh so I can start again

Falling in disgrace, listen to the laughter
What a terrible waste. I can hardly wait
