Tossed into my own arms now and dragged off to sleep And we wonder how long then Will she circle the same tree? Every time my heart comes back picks me up like mercury I forget to wear shoes with tread Lessons that slip into the sea Nothing left of me to stitch I'm scattered all about the floor Tossed into my own arms now and dragged off to sleep Like mercury Changed the house now a new shade of red Changed the curtains and the bed Sit and count my one two threes I can't wait till we can be like mercury
