Mercury Rising

Lyrics

[Francis Mark, Brian Deneeve] How sad, this is what your life has been reduced to (Every breath that I exhale is a sigh) A single room apartment containing no more than a mattress How sad when the strings have been removed from the blinds and all the outlets have been painted over (Every breath that I exhale is a sigh of exhaustion) And the television screen is streaked with blood smeared from your knuckles as you were trying to punch it out (Every breath that I exhale is a sigh) But you underestimated its strength Or maybe you just weren't trying hard enough (Every breath that I exhale is a sigh of exhaustion) Startled by a knock at the door you rise for the first time in two days to answer But you can only greet the visitor with one short statement (Every breath that I exhale is a sigh) Hello my first name is distance and I really don't care if I never wake up again (Every breath that I exhale is a sigh of exhaustion) Hello my name is distance and I really don't care if I never wake up again (Every breath that I exhale is a sigh) And I really don't care if I never wake up again (Every breath that I exhale is a sigh of exhaustion) And I really don't care if I never wake up again
