[Intro]
My Mercury's in retrograde
My Mercury's in retrograde
Mer- Mer- Mercury's in retrograde
My Mercury's in retrograde
[Chorus]
Mercury, Mercu- Mercury's in
Mercury, Mer- Mer- Mercury's in
Mercury, Mercu- Mercury's in
Mercury's in retrograde
[Refrain]
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 what's forgotten
Try not to worry about what's been missed
[Verse 1]
Scars on my shins and scars on my knuckles
Today I woke up in a basketball court
Jonjo's in Sydney and he ain't returning
I'm sitting in Soho, tryna stay drunk
[Pre-Chorus]
In any bar in the world
From Silverlake to Williamsburg
You could pick another stranger
And fall in love
[Chorus]
Mercury, Mercu- Mercury's in
Mercury's in retrograde
Mercury, Mercu- Mercury's in
Mercury's in retrograde
[Refrain]
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 what's forgotten
Try not to worry about what's been missed
[Verse 2]
Bleeding gums and v- veins protruding
I'm starting to hate all of your clothes
Neumayr's in LA and she ain't returning
I'm sleeping with people I don't even like
[Pre-Chorus]
In any bar in the world
From Silverlake to Williamsburg
You could pick another stranger
And fall in love
[Chorus]
Mercury, Mercu- Mercury's in
Mercury's in retrograde
Mercury, Mercu- Mercury's in
Mercury's in retrograde
Mercury, Mercu- Mercury's in
Mercury's in retrograde
Mercury, Mercu- Mercury's in
Mercury's in retrograde
[Bridge]
When I saw 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"
Was, "Hey," was, "Hey," was, "Hey"
[Chorus]
Mercury, Mercu- Mercury's in
Mercury's in retrograde
Mercury, Mercu- Mercury's in
Mercury's in retrograde
Mercury, Mercu- Mercury's in
Mercury's in retrograde
Mercury, Mercu- Mercury's in
Mercury's in retrograde
[Outro]
Mercury's in retrograde
My mercury's in retrograde
Mer- Mer- Mercury's in retrograde
My Mercury's in retrograde
