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
