Lyrics
| Mercury dances in its skyscraper cell, rising and falling like rhapsody
And I see winter's broken like lace, in time for a celebration Thaw wails inside the walls and laughs in the corners, delighting in its evident victory Till I feel springtime counting its days of flaunting a novel sensation Like it's leaving, leaving behind the weight vying for yesteryear Leaving promises in its wake, whispering, my love, you're still here Hold on to your memories of sundogs and rainbows, as time writes a premature eulogy And I feel summertime passing in haste, like running out of patience Quilted with knit and umbrellas and scarfs and a mild understanding of irony I feel autumn leaving the race, all done with the exhilaration It's leaving, leaving behind the weight vying for yesteryear Leaving promises in its wake, whispering, my love, you're still here Mercury dances in its skyscraper cell, rising and falling in harmony And I feel winter stealing my days, to herald another creation |
Trivia
- This track contains some of the deepest wordplay in the band's catalogue. For instance, the first line simultaneously describes both the movement of a thermometer and an astrological concept.
