Wild Mercury

Maybe I shouldn't have called so late on the telephone
I guess I should have learned when to leave well enough alone
But I ride at a level that keeps me charged all of the time
You know I'd take it down if I could

Ride the light
Nobody can see
Eyes on fire
Rising with the mercury
Wild mercury

I speak before I think, that's the way it's always been with me
And I'm smarter when I drink, that's something anybody can see
I wanna wanna wanna wanna wanna wanna wanna know you now
But I don't know where or how

Shot like light, blood coursing through my veins
And I ride so hard coming down like wreckage from the airplane
I light up like a rocket and I flame out just as hard
And I still have yet to play my best card
