Mercury — Bloc Party

My mercury's in retrograde

This is not the time, the time to start a new love This is not the time, the time to sign a lease Try not to worry about whats forgotten Try not to worry about whats been missed Scars on shins and scars on my knuckles Today I woke up in a basketball court Jonjo's in Sydney and he aint returning Im sitting in soho trying to stay drunk

In any bar in the world From Silverlake to Williamsburg You could pick another stranger And fall in love

My mercury's in retrograde

This is not the time, the tie to start a new love This is not the time, the time to sign a lease Try not to worry about whats forgotten Try not to worry about whats been missed Bleeding gums and veins protruding You're starting to hate all of your clothes Neumayrs in LA and she aint returning Im sleeping with people I don't even like

My mercury's in retrograde

When I say you last night I wanted to say, run away with me Away from the cynics That this could be the start of Something truly real... But all that I could say was "hey"
