Steve Lacy - Mercury

Gemini

I'm a myth and I'm a legend

Whom never wins

And might not ever play again

Keep falling in (keep falling in, yeah)

Love so fast and back out again

Speeding

When I should ease in

Oh, I know myself, my sins

Dug my pit, then I fell in

Pulled the trigger, killed us both

Lesson learned but truth gets old

Little of heaven, little unpleasant (ooh, ah)

I don't know (ooh, ah)

Little of pleasure, little depression (ooh, ah)

I don't know (ooh, ah)

Little of heaven, little unpleasant (ooh, ah)

I don't know (ooh, ah)

How can I tell if? How can I measure? (ooh, ah)

If I don't know (ooh, ah)

I looked up at the ceiling as I draft my "I'm so sorry" text

Don't regret the choice I chose but do regret the mess I made

I see you hurt, I wish I could just hold you tight and close

Don't need long, just wanna say, "I love you and miss you the most"

Oh, I know myself, my skin

Rolling stones don't crawl back in

Daddy's faults fell down on me

Break that curse for sweet relief

Little of heaven, little unpleasant (ooh, ah)

I don't know (ooh, ah)

Little of pleasure, little depression (ooh, ah)

I don't know (ooh, ah)

Little of heaven, little unpleasant (ooh, ah)

I don't know (ooh, ah)

How can I tell if? How can I measure? (Ooh, ah)

If I don't know (ooh, ah)

Mercury running amuck in my mind

Can't tell if I'm winning or falling behind

Venus in retrograde got me in bed

And thinkin' 'bout all of the shit that I said

Gemini scope give me depth 'til I'm dead

But I can't seem to get the fuck out of my head

Well, fuck it, I'll just cop a Porsche instead

I do as I please and you see where it lead

Guess somethin' bad ain't 'bout to happen to me

You think I'm two-faced, I can name twenty-three

My layers, all these sides

Could you stick by for the ride?

It's a thrill, and I don't even know how to feel

It might be too real

Might be too

Real, might be too real, real

I said, "Might be too"

Might, I said, "Might be too real, real"

I said, "Might be too real"

Excuse me if I lied

I forgot I said that

Can you forgive my tongue?

I'll show you where my head at

I don't think I'm the one

But I could be your girlfriend

'Til retrograde is done
