Mercury Rising |
It was dark and it wasn’t just the nighttime |
The crowd was silent but their eyes were on dead time |
The air was laden down with malice and silence |
A recipe with just a sprinkle of violence |
And then the atmosphere began to crackle and fizz |
You can’t put your finger on whatever it is |
(Hey!) Who’s that girl with the electric eyes? |
Just stand well back and watch the needle rise |
Opened my eyes at eleven (that's a.m.) |
Said a prayer, crossed my heart and said amen |
Black clouds, low pressure in my head |
But I ignored what my barometer and heart said |
And then the atmosphere began to buckle and chill |
Yeah, the mood was heavy but the air was still |
And with the beat turned of their was just one end |
And the heavens split with all that God could send |
And then the atmosphere began to crackle and fizz |
You can’t put your finger on whatever it is |
(Hey!) Who’s that girl with the electric eyes? |
Just stand well back and watch the needle rise |
