Mercury Lyrics

Hey, hey 1-2-3
I'm on fire like my favorite trees
Maple, willow and oak
But you won't catch me by the smoke

Through all the hills
Down by the shore
The rush of the engine
My mind does roar
Mercury sky, mercury sea
Mercury love inside me
yeah, yeah, mercury

All my nights for you
There is nothing to see through
And I, I'm as plain as day
Just a traveler on my way

Through all the hills
Down by the shore
The rush of the engine
My mind does roar
Mercury sky, mercury sea
Mercury love inside me
yeah, yeah, mercury

Out beyond the sun
You are my only one
And I, I'm just a child
High and low and wild

Through all the hills
Down by the shore
The rush of the engine
My mind does roar
Mercury sky, mercury sea
Mercury love inside me
yeah, yeah, mercury

Hey, hey 1-2-3
I close my eyes to see
All the way there and back again
No, I never did like to count to ten

Through all the hills
Down by the shore
The rush of the engine
My mind does roar
Mercury sky, mercury sea
Mercury love inside me
yeah, yeah, mercury

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
