Leave for the country let the day begin I carry my share of original sin I'm writing you a letter from a telephone Sign it messenger man in the great unknown And I wanna be like Mercury With the wind blowin' through my hair Swim up the river to the cedar trees Follow the sun and catch a nice cool breeze Bicycle trail only runs so far This is a place you can't get by car And I wanna be like Mercury With the wind blowin' through my hair Walk through the woods on a moonlit night I carry a compass and a small flashlight Deliver my message in a mason jar Planting my seeds they're growing star to star And I wanna be like Mercury With the wind blowin' through my hair
