Cover art for Mercury Man lyrics by Animal Collective

Sounds like machines talking to me on the phone. I say, but they don't quite get me. It's hard to make my feelings known. Sometimes I wish for a long wave.

When I'm waiting for someone to calm my tone, bad vibes I've got hold dementia. When I'm one thousand Hz from home, sometimes I wish for a short wave home.

Two human beings. I'm upset, you're upset, what's to be done?

Old lines. Everybody talking from their homes. Bad news, but your bed'll leave ya (?). If you could only feel what's wrong. Sometimes I wish for a hand wave home.

Two human beings. I'm upset, you're upset, what's to be done? Two human beings. What a mess, what a mess, what's to be done?

To slide off like mercury. Can I play my part like mercury? Would you let me feel like mercury? Can I always be like mercury?

To slide off like mercury. Let it slip like mercury. Would you let me feel like mercury? Can I always feel like mercury?

We must be somewhere, Can't find it nowhere, the love. Is it me? I keep calling, it feels like there's no one here.
