I'd like to stay and introduce myself to you And all your friends who tell you what you do is good I fall down laughing as they offer you their gratitude For making them believe the things you do (Chorus) I feel so tired and I'm leery that the time You spend with me is of design I come to see you live your life out on parade As if your will is so benign I say goodbye and through the doorway I will leave you to the key to all the happiness you find You fill my resevoir with shame And resignation to banality that fills your little mind (Chorus) Mercury baby, airless and waiting Revolving at a high velocity Proud to be much closer to the sun Shine your light on everyone The answer is waiting and soon I'll be fading Albert would be proud if he could see Your orbit will increase by forty-three inches every century
