Mercury Is Rising |
Lyricsmercury is rising even though it has no colourthe man they call big Larry is leaning on a broom it's my belief to bear in mind to see life as a blessing with a little navigation then i'll be back soon the bargirls fill the glasses the beers are overflowing the band is getting tuned up to the rhythms of the moon the smokefilled barroom fills up with the momentary people music drifts the tables and the sax begins to croon all the joes that gather at that funny little blues bar are talking over music but it ain´t no big deal someone mentions Miles so they play a twelve bar melody played just for the love of it they play it all for real look at those abandoned shipwreks sitting at the bars naked as a swollen face looking at the cars refugees from heartache with one foot on the ground they start to read the daily news a second time around the barmaid by the cashtill with her poem and white apron with eyes that tell you everything and looks to kill so settled in her evening work until she blows a fuse she talks the ins and outs about the whole day news all those greeneyed sisters let their sweaters do the talking someone cut their airbrakes throwing caution to the wind that guitarplayer's smoking, improving by the hour the small waist on the barmaid, it's a mortal sin she can´t be more than seventeen and wears a little number in endless conversation on her mobile phone she tells her friends this and that, her eyes are full of wonder the jazzman plays his melody but the tunes are just on loan the half forgotten chinese boy who sings another number is sitting on a barstool and smokes a kangaroo wondering about the sisters who are laughing at the table he notices that one came in wearing just one shoe [mercury is rising] |
