Mercury Rising

[Verse]
Yeah

Her mother named her Jupiter
She had never, ever seen the stars
And we were urban astronauts (And we were urban astronauts)
With a spaceship that couldn’t take us that far

But were allowed to dream though right?
But were allowed to dream though right?

Whoever said the sky was the limit
Wasn’t living where I was living
Whoever said the sky was the limit
Wasn’t living where I was living
(Whoever said the sky was the limit
Wasn’t living where I was living
Whoever said the sky was the limit
Wasn’t living where I was living)

His father named him Mercury
He always wanted to be a star
So he started selling moonrocks
Cause they said it was never in his cosmic cards
Yeah
(Ain't it all what it is till it ain't what it is when broke at the break of dawn)
His astro van had bullet holes, windows, he tinted those
Depression was clinical, income was critical
(Ain't it all what it is till it ain't what it is when broke at the break of dawn)
They just want a trip to the heavens
They'll go to hell just to get to it
They just want a trip to the heavens
They go thru hell just to get to it

We're all just restless dreamers, waiting for the launch
Rocket ships race across the sky, they said they'll come
We're all just restless dreamers, waiting for the launch
If Astronauts landed here, how come we've never seen one
