Mercury Girl — Alphaville

Shes staying around or else shes goin away

It could be forever or it might be a day

Or may be forever I call her a mercury girl

Shes building me up & then shes 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 Ive got some time

I try to hold her but she wouldnt 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 Ive got some time

I try to hold her but she wouldnt 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
