Quietly, almost elusively   Almost invisibly, I found that I   For a moment had slipped away      Ripped in two, then pasted back again   Then crumpled up inside, then tossed aside   You know that it feels so bad      Oh, Mercury   Oh, Mercury      Happened once and then it happened twice   And then it happened thrice and now a fourth   You know that? Did you know that?      Ripped in two, then pasted back again   Then crumpled up inside, then tossed aside   You know that it feels so bad      Oh, Mercury   Oh, Mercury      Quietly, almost elusively   Almost invisibly, I found that I   For a moment had slipped away      Ripped in two, then pasted back again   Then crumpled up inside, then tossed aside   You know that it feels so bad      Oh, Mercury   Oh, Mercury      Oh, Mercury   Oh, Mercury
